vestrymen
Church committee members
Vestrymen is the plural of vestryman—a member of a vestry, the administrative body of an Episcopal or Anglican parish church.
Vestrymen handle church finances, property, and governance alongside the clergy.
The term reflects older usage when such positions were held exclusively by men; today vestry member is more common.
