Great to spend some of this morning with Mark Fisher from the Generations Project, Solihull, an ecumenical initiative to gear up local churches to work with older adults in residential care settings. Mark is asking interesting and important questions about the meaning of old age. In earlier life people ask us 'what do you want to do when you grow up?' or 'what will you do when you retire?', but much more rarely about how we are going to prepare for 'fourth age', or indeed what our faith says about the meaning of age. Read more and contribute your own ideas via the 'Why Pappy?' thread of the Generations Project website.
