Short Description:

Presented by the Forum on Religion, Spirituality and Aging (FORSA)

Full Description:

Building on the African philosophy of ubuntu (“I am because we are”), this seminar will explore what congregations can do to assist elders to age in meaningful ways within an intergenerational community. Practical approaches to integrate this construct into relationship-building through education, care partnering, service opportunities, and conversation groups will be explored.
