PRE-RETIREMENT COURSE
In partnership with the Diocese of Leeds, we are running our next 24 hr. Pre-Retirement Conference at Wydale Hall. During the first day session of this conference (10am – 3.30pm) independent financial advisers from Ecclesiastical Financial Advisory Services will talk about the practicalities of retirement and preparing for retirement: pensions (Church and State), housing and finances. Clergy of any age and spouses are welcome to attend this section.
The second part of the conference (for 55s and over only) will allow more time for questions and also reflection on the life changes that come with retirement, for example the opportunities and losses that come with the transition from full time ministry. We will look at some of the possibilities for ministry or otherwise in retirement and consider the spirituality of this new stage of life. The costs of this are covered from the Clergy CMD allowance by application using the normal form. We encourage clergy and spouses to attend a Pre-Retirement Course several years before they are due to retire, to get the maximum benefit from the advice given.
