At the forthcoming General Synod in York, the clergy will be
debating the proposed changes to the Church of England Funded
Pension Schemes.
Recommendations include the raising of the retirement age,
reducing pension increases on future service from 5% to 3.5% a year
and increasing the number of qualifying years for a full pension
from 37 to 40.
Final proposals will be considered on 5 July.
