I have to say that we have had trouble in the past with work to churches that require faculty and not planning, and sometimes the DAC and the arch county advisor do not necessarily see eye to eye. I have found this is more often regarding paperwork (briefs, standards, report submission to the SMR is a big one, etc). More that I don't know what's going on, but this could just be limited to my experience and not reflect the whole picture.
But the DACs often seem to have even less clout than we do - and am I correct in understanding that this is a volunatary role? Pretty sure they are not paid for their advice and time.
Anyway, the C of E has recently produced some guidelines for archaeology and churches (don't have link right now but I'm sure one of you clever folk can find it if you want), and were also heavily involved in the new guidance on the treatment of human remains. http://www.cofe.anglican.org/about/catha...idance.pdf
