Application process

In the first instance an organisation wanting to become a Body in Association should contact CTE's General Secretary who will, with colleagues, ascertain that they have a more-than-local presence, that they are open to Christians of all traditions, and that they operate ecumenically.

The application is then brought to CTE's Directors, who make a recommendation to the Enabling Group.
