Retired Archbishops
On resigning, an Archbishop reverts to the status of a Bishop, and should in principal be addressed as Rt Rev rather than Most Rev. By courtesy, however, he may still be addressed as Archbishop, unless he is actually appointed as a Bishop in this country - when he will be addressed as a Bishop.
