| Annotation | This small-scale study investigated the experience of 53 Christian churchgoers in the UK who were or had recently been the primary carers of a relative or friend suffering from dementia. Responses to a short questionnaire revealed how almost all these carers claimed to have been supported by their faith, and how far it had been challenged and maybe deepened. Respondents also commented on the role of their local churches. Issues are identified where further research might be beneficial, and where lessons can be learned by the churches. (JL). |
