Christians on Ageing online conference – FREE to attend
Wednesday, 24th September 2025
10.30am until 4.00pm
Our conference will explore ‘Faces of Hope in Later Life’, focusing on the positive horizons of later life as well as its challenges.
The keynote speaker will be Revd Michael Jackson, formerly Director of St John’s Winchester Charity and author of Still Love Left: Faith and Hope in Later Life.
Michael says: “I believe profoundly that ageing can be a positive experience and that we can see God at work in this, so whatever the challenges there is a real expectation of our experiencing a divine encounter in being old”.
In addition, we will hear from:
John MacMillan, CEO of the Eric Liddell Community, Edinburgh, whose work with older people in the community embodies Eric Liddell’s values of compassion, inclusion and hope in all circumstances.
Olivia Luijnenburg, pursuing post-doctoral studies on dementia at Kings College London. She is a medical anthropologist with a special interest in residential care for older people, dementia care, spirituality and spiritual care.
Our lunchtime interactive workshop will be led by Liv McLennan, co-founder and director of Sounds Better CIC. Liv has a particular interest in working with people with dementia and respiratory conditions. She is currently undertaking doctoral studies in intergenerational music within a care home setting at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.
