AnnotationIn this theological and sociological examination of the relationship between older people and the church, the author asks whether the church in England has changed. He explores whether ageism is perceived as a difficulty for older people, and if it was possible for the church to have an ageist attitude. Other chapters present evidence on what older people think of the church, what older people can do for the church, and the church as a caring, spiritual partner for older people. (RH).
