Book of office
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A book of office may refer either to a record of the conduct of affairs within an organization, particularly a religious organization like a church, or to a body of writing establishing the guiding philosophy of an organization like a political party.
Religious organizations, including individual churches and parishes, may record the acts of their leaders in a book of office.[1] This practice has also been used to record the dealings of secular organizations like courts.[2] The infrequency of reference to these books in modern use may point to a decline in their use.
