| Annotation | This publication has its origins as a training manual, 'Older people and evangelism' first produced by the Church Army in 1997, and aimed at churches wishing to respond to the growing numbers of older people in their congregations. This new resource - published jointly with the Leveson Centre - includes some of the material from the earlier manual, revised and updated. Part 1, on raising awareness, comprises a modular training course covering three themes: ageism and attitudes towards older people; engaging with older people; and practical evangelism in partnership with other agencies. Part 2 comprises resources to help local churches in their work with older people, including taking services in care homes; visiting and befriending; loss and change; dementia; and developing a church policy on ageing.
