This book addresses important issues of ageing and spirituality and
reflects on the impact of culture on both constructs. The papers
are contemporary in that they include excerpts of cultural impact
on spirituality from New Zealand, Singapore, India, United Kingdom,
Australia and the United States. This book marks almost 20 years of
international conferences on ageing and spirituality that commenced
in January 2000. It opens the conversation to all who were part of
this journey of ageing, including older people, practitioners in
ageing and aged care, researchers, and those who reflect on the
process of growing older. Chapters feature diverse perspectives,
highlighting the need for inclusivity in conversations that
surround ageing and recognize how development of cultures is
influenced by the society where they emerge, and by minority groups
within larger society. Chapters also note the occurrence of
subcultures of ageing and aged care. The conference was held
shortly before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, with the
chapters being written often during times of lockdown. Their
content reflects the importance of spirituality in times of
isolation and can show ways of reaching out to vulnerable older
people, of various faiths and cultures, whatever their situations.
Changing Cultures of Ageing and Spirituality will be a key resource
for academics, researchers, and advanced students of Theology,
Divinity and Religious Studies, Gerontology, Sociology, Psychology,
Mental Health, and Nursing. The chapters included in this book were
originally published as a special issue of Journal of Religion,
Spirituality & Aging.
