Never having been a church warden myself, but having been both secretary and treasurer, I thought it was find/corral sidespeople, hand out books, use wands of office to conduct minister and guest preacher behind choir if required, count the congregation and count the cash collection but not FWO

Me too. Married 12 years, responsible job over £30k, written poetry, played ball, all the stuff RFK says I can’t do because I’m autistic.
