| Annotation | The Age Awareness project was set up in 1995 by Methodist Homes for the Aged and the Christian Council on Ageing, facilitated by a grant from the Sir Halley Stewart Trust. The main objective of the project is to increase the understanding of the spiritual needs of older people. This set of 10 booklets is aimed at churches, local community groups and individuals for reflection, discussion, and action. Topics covered include: spirituality in the later years of life; adapting our lifestyle in retirement; the ageing single person; ageing in a strange land (ageing of older immigrants); facing terminal illness; older people and bereavement; spiritual needs of people with dementia; a future home (residential care and staying put); those who care for others (informal carers); and the Church's ministry to ageing people. Each booklet ends with a section to encourage discussion and action by local churches and groups. (AKM). |
