The last third of life presents some of life’s richest spiritual, theological and ethical challenges. The journey of aging passes through both stable periods and times of transition which include pressing questions related to identity, leaving a legacy, loss of relationships, role in family and community, and facing diminishment and mortality. A primary concern of the aging process is, “How will we live generatively into this fierce and liberating season of life?” This course will explore how congregations and other communities of faith can engage in conversations and practices that will allow them to actively nurture spiritual formation into older adulthood.
The course will draw upon readings from Richard Rohr, Joan Chittister, and Fred Craddock. Participants taking the course for certificate credit will complete a final project.
