The story of older people is the story of their unique life journey.  They have lived through war and peace, have known hope and failure, and have found, and sometimes lost, friendship and love.  For many, their Christian faith has been the context within which they have lived and in which they will die.  They have handed on the gospel message to the next generation but are also living it day by day.  Their story is not just about the past; they are part, in the here and now, of the Churches’ proclamation of the gospel of Jesus Christ. They are a valued and precious resource. They want to give as well as receive. Christians on Ageing is one of their voices.
