• Answer #1

  This LIST is correct, and although directed to C.O.E. (Church of England) it is the acceptable standard for forms of address to members of most Christian Clergy, with the obvious exception of the Catholic Church, which having a Pope, would add "His Holiness" If you address him as "The Right Reverend and Right Honorable Bishop" in written correspondence or verbally as "Your Reverence" you will not be offending him.

  HERE IS THE LIST:

  Archbishop of Canterbury or York The Most Revd and Rt Hon the Lord Archbishop of Archbishop of another Province The Most Revd the Lord Archbishop of Bishop of London The Rt Revd and Rt Hon the Lord Bishop of Diocesan / Suffragan Bishop Either The Rt Revd the Lord Bishop of Or the Rt Revd the Bishop of Assistant / Retired Bishop The Rt Revd J.D.Smith (or John Smith) Dean The Very Revd the Dean of Provost The Very Revd the Provost of Archdeacon The Ven the Archdeacon of Canon The Revd Canon J.D.Smith (or John or Jane Smith) Prebendary The Revd Prebendary J.D.Smith (or John or Jane Smith) Rural Dean No special form of address (The Revd, the Revd Canon, etc) Dean of Oxford / Cambridge College No special form of address Cleric also Professor Either The Revd Professor J.D.Smith Or Professor the Revd J.D.Smith Canon also Professor Either The Revd Canon Professor J.D.Smith Or Professor the Revd Canon J.D.Smith Cleric also Doctor Either The Revd Dr J.D.Smith Or The Revd J.D.Smith (degree) Canon also Doctor The Revd Canon J.D.Smith (degree) Other Clergy / Priest / Deacon The Revd J.D.Smith (or John or Jane Smith)

  The following points should be noted particularly:

  1. A diocesan or suffragan bishop has a title conferred on him by his consecration or subsequent translation, which he is entitled to hold until he resigns. He then reverts to his personal name, retaining the title 'Right Reverend'.
  2. A dean, provost or archdeacon has a territorial title until he resigns. He then reverts to his personal name, and his title is 'Reverend' unless the rank of dean, provost or archdeacon emeritus has been awarded.
  3. Retired archbishops properly go back to the status of a bishop but may be given as a courtesy the style of an archbishop.
  4. A bishop holding office as a dean or archdeacon is addressed as The Rt Revd the Dean / Archdeacon of.
  5. If a cleric's name or initials are unknown, he or she should be addressed as The Revd - Smith or the Revd Mr / Mrs / Miss / Ms Smith. It is never correct to refer to a cleric as 'The Reverend Smith' or 'Revd Smith'.
  6. There is no universally accepted way of addressing an envelope to a married couple of whom both are in Holy orders. We recommend the style 'The Revd A.B. and the Revd C.D.Smith'.

  Hope this helps.
