"Retirement is one of the major transitions in modern life. For most of us retirement means that life undergoes a radical change, but the change is in our outward circumstances, not in who we are. Our finances change our housing may change we will spend more time with our husbands or wives, if we have them we will have more time at our own disposal. But the biggest challenge is to the way in which we see ourselves." Martin Down has been ordained in the Church of England for 47 years. He retired from stipendiary ministry in 2005. He is married to Maureen and they have two children and five grandchildren. He writes about retirement and old age, not only from his own experience, but also from a lifetime of parish ministry in which he has known from a pastoral point of view generations of people facing the same challenges and opportunities.
