What is another word for parochial church council?
Pronunciation: [paɹˈɒkɪəl t͡ʃˈɜːt͡ʃ kˈa͡ʊnsə͡l] (IPA) 
The term "parochial church council" is commonly used in the United Kingdom to refer to the governing body of a local church. However, there are a few different terms that can be used to refer to this same entity, depending on the denomination or regional variation. For example, in the Church of Scotland, the equivalent governing body is called the kirk session. In some Anglican dioceses, the council may be known as the vestry, while in others it may be referred to as the parochial church assembly or simply the church council. Regardless of the name, these councils typically consist of clergy and lay members who are responsible for the administrative and financial affairs of the local church.
