Conference Calls 2022

15th December 2021 By GerryBurke

Conference Call

You are invited to share some time looking at important issues. 

The first Conference Call of 2022

18 January      10.30am – 12 noon.

How are we feeling as older individual Christians?   And what of our churches?

David Jolley – Chair of Christians on Ageing and a retired Psychogeriatrician  will lead the discussion

We will be taking time to reflect on the position and spiritual lives of older Christians as we enter a new year, still immersed in multiple crises. What strengths can we identify?

Register your interest in this Call and those in February and March by e-mail: discussion@ccoa.org.uk 

________________________________________________________________

The next two Conference Calls in this, the sixth series, will be:

15 February     10.30am – 12 noon

Parish Nursing: What is this and what can it do for you?

 Anne Taylor – Director of Nursing, Parish Nursing Ministries will lead the discussion

Parish Nursing was mentioned several times during discussions at our October 2021 webinar. This is an opportunity to learn more about it and to set it in context alongside other Christian initiatives reaching out to older people in difficulty

15 March    10.30am – 12 noon

Predatory Marriage – context and related issues

Daphne Franks will lead the discussion

Daphne’s mother Joan was known to have dementia. Daphne had taken over management of her affairs through Power of Attorney, yet a marriage conducted in secret whilst her mother was living with this impairment has been deemed legal, all her assets on death passing to the man she ‘married’. Daphne will explain the circumstances and describe this growing problem and approaches being pursued to attempt to counter it.

Our Guest Speaker will be Professor Emeritus Peter Coleman of The University of Southampton

A reflection on 50 years’ experience of interviewing older people about their attitudes to the Christian faith.

Speaking Out

There are some things which just have to be said.  We have to speak out because at the heart of the Christian message is our belief that God is not silent.  God has spoken through creation itself and the evolving universe; through the human story; through the dwelling of Jesus Christ in time; through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in the Church and in each believer; through the inspiration of the scriptures; and through the wisdom and the teaching of the Church through the ages.

We use words all the time.  Words of welcome.  Words of wisdom.  Words of warmth.  Words of warning.  Words of wistfulness.  Our words are wasted if words are just words.   In the beginning was the Word.  And the Word was with God.  And the Word was God.  Through him all things came to be, not one thing had its being but through him.   The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. The Word made things happen.

As Christians, as followers of the Word, we do something about what we have heard.  Our own best words are our actions.

Please tell us what you would like us to Speak Out about by contacting:  info@ccoa.org.uk

Reflect and Pray

Help me to journey beyond the familiar and into the unknown. Give me the faith to leave old ways and break fresh ground with you. Christ of the mysteries, I trust You to be stronger than each storm within me. I will trust in the darkness and know that my times, even now, are in your hand. Tune my spirit to the music of heaven, and somehow, make my obedience count for You.”

St Brendan the Navigator   484-577
