Gathering at our 2025 AGM
If you would like to join RCACoE an application form can be downloaded from here and completed in accordance with the instructions on the form. As the two documents published by the ArchBishops’ Council Remunerations and Conditions of Service Committee suggest that dioceses offer life membership to clergy on retirement, you might check with your Bishop/Archdeacon before applying for membership personally.
Document 1
“Supporting clergy to prepare for retirement”
Paragraph 10:
Offering life membership of the Retired Clergy Association of the church of England on retirement will also be helpful.
Document 2
“Supporting the ministry of clergy after retirement from office”
Paragraph 60:
At the time of retirement, the bishop will probably wish to consider how to express the diocese’s appreciation of the retiring cleric’s ministry……….it may be helpful to offer life membership of the Retired Clergy Association of the Church of England.
Both documents are in our ‘useful information’ and can be found on the CofE website:
