Church of Ireland Publishing

Church of Ireland Publishing was established in 2003 as a publishing imprint for the Church of Ireland. 

Its remit is to provide for official publications of the Church of Ireland, identify and fill gaps in the Church’s publications programme, and facilitate publication for other church–related bodies.

Church of Ireland Publishing is responsible to the General Synod Literature Committee and is administered on a day–to–day basis by the Honorary Secretary of the Literature Committee and the Publications Officer.  The Literature Committee is responsible to the Standing Committee of the General Synod through the Central Communications Board.

Its remit is to:

  • identify gaps in the provision of published material
  • generate new ideas in publication
  • review material which is offered for publication
  • operate as a publisher in the sense of commissioning publications from other agencies
  • make recommendations for support from the General Synod Royalties Fund

The preliminary stages to having material accepted for publication by Church of Ireland Publishing are as follows:

  • Groups, committees or individuals who expect to submit material for publication should seek an early meeting to discuss the feasibility of their project.
  • All manuscripts to be considered for publication must be submitted to the Honorary Secretary of the Literature Committee c/o RCB Library, Braemor Park, Churchtown, Dublin 14.
  • All who wish to publish must make budgetary provision in advance to cover the publication costs.
  • Groups or committees submitting material for publication must appoint one of their members as an editor.

A comprehensive and user–friendly writing and reference guide is available for future publications from Church of Ireland Publishing, as well as for use by students in the Church of Ireland Theological Institute (CITI). This is the result of collaboration between the Institute and Church of Ireland Publishing (CIP) with thanks to Bryan Whelan, formerly Assistant Librarian at the RCB Library.
