“The Church’s Ministry with Older Adults”

“The Church’s Ministry with Older Adults” by Blaine Taylor (Abingdon Press, Nashville)

The Church’s Ministry with Older Adults is a handbook for pastors and churches seeking to better serve people over sixty-five years of age. It is a toolbox of suggestions, illustrations, and program ideas designed for clergy and lay people committed to ministry with America’s fastest growing population segment.

The chapters in this book look at various issues. The Church: worship, pastoral care, youth work, Christian education, stewardship, evangelism, mission, and ministry. Cultural concerns and services: food and nutrition, sexual adjustments, physical and financial emergencies, transportation, visitation and friendship, nursing and hospital care, legal aid, family emergencies, housing, recreation, entertainment, pastoral care, counseling, and continuing education. And, the preceding list led reflection on theological issues.
