Are we ready for the opportunities and challenges facing the aging
church? Now is the time for the church to offer ministry to its
increasing numbers of seniors and to benefit from ministry they can
offer. In this book James M. Houston and Michael Parker issue an
urgent call to reconceive the place and part of the elderly and
seniors in the local church congregation. Confronting the idea that
the aging are mostly a burden on the church, they boldly address
the moral issues related to caring for them, provide examples of
successful care-giving programs and challenge the church to restore
broken connections across the generations. Cowritten by a noted
theologian and an expert in the fields of social work and
gerontology, this interdisciplinary book assesses our current
cultural context and the challenges and opportunities we face. The
authors show us that seniors aren't the problem. They are the
solution.
