Churches to address aging with integrated care
A United Presbyterian Church consultation urged radical shifts in church attitudes toward aging. It called for congregation led community planning for housing health and education, model nonprofit nursing homes, subsidies for retirees, and programs that connect generations to combat loneliness. The report notes society prizes youth and urges churches to minister to the physical and spiritual needs of older people. It also highlights that many elderly cannot attend or contribute regularly, advocating church outreach to bring services to them. The tone reflects a period newspaper feature with background on the aging issue and church involvement.
