Yes, the P&L report is nearest to what I want.  It does show the
amount of money spent on each type of expense (e.g. Vicar's expenses,
maintenance and so on) for the year so far and the income from various
sources.  However it doesn't have the all importamt (to most people)
balance in the bank account at the start and end of the period.

If I remember right in previous years I have manually edited the
report to add the bank balances.

I'll try this (again?) but I seem to remember it doesn't really work
for me (or, more to the point, the way the CofE expects).  Where does
GnuCash save these report configurations?
