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?

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.
