— the 1999 Cecil Jackson-Cole Memorial lecture [given by] the Revd Anthony Burnham, Moderator of the Free Churches' Council and General Secretary of the United Reformed Church | | Author(s) | Anthony Burnham |

| Annotation | The title, "Maturity for beginners" is suggested, because maturity gives a positive spin to the negativity of ageing. The premise for this lecture is that the Church has to take seriously the increasing numbers of older people, as this has implications for: worship; teaching the faith and evangelism; pastoral and community care; and justice. Following the dissolution of the Voluntary and Christian Service Trust, this Memorial Lecture was sponsored by Help the Aged. (RH). |
