Retirement of Ministers

FRCA
ARTICLE 13 – Retirement of ministers
If a minister of the Word retires by reason of age, or because he is rendered incapable of performing the duties of his office on account of sickness or otherwise, he shall retain the honour and title of minister of the Word. He shall also retain his official bond with the church which he served last and this church shall provide honourably for his support. The same obligation exists towards a minister’s widow and orphans. The retirement of ministers shall take
place with the approval of the consistory with the deacons and with the concurring advice of
classis and the deputies of Synod.

Soo het geschiedt dat eenige Dienaers door ouderdom / sieckte ofte andersins onbequaem worden tot oeffeninge hares Dienstes / soo sullen sy nochtans des niet te min de eere eñ den name eens Dienaers behouden / ende van de Kercke die sy ghedient hebben / eerlijcken in haren nootdruft (ghelijck oock de Weduwen eñ Weesen der Dienaren int gemeen) versorget worden.
