Preparing for Retirement 2020

Retiring from ordained ministry means a change in lifestyle and a new phase of Christian discipleship. The diocese invites all stipendiary clergy approaching retirement and their spouses to a three-day residentail course to think about this important transition in the relaxing surroundings of Sarum College. The programme includes advice about health and wellbeing, finance and housing as well as small group work on future discipleship and ministry.

Except for some special circumstances, ordained ministers over the age of 62 are automatically invited each autumn to the folloiwng year's residential.
