This book puts dementia into a Christian context, insisting that
loss of memory or reason does not mean a person is worthless.
Dementia is in the headlines on a daily basis. Much information is
available but it is all factual with no spiritual content. Yet for
Christians, dementia can raise questions unlike any other
condition. Why does a godly old man begin to use language that has
always been anathema to him? Why does a loving mother become
stubborn, and suspicious? Where is God in all of this? This book
offers information and reassurance gleaned from the extensive
experience of Pilgrim Homes, a network of nine Christian care homes
and a foundation going back to 1807.
The changing face of the world solidly impacts the nature of
mission. Donal Dorr demonstrates why engagement with other
religions and cultures demands that missionaries understand the
importance of dialogue and also forces issues such as
inculturation, the struggle for liberation of the poor and
oppressed, and the need for reconciliation in conflict-torn
regions.
