Our magazine

1st March 2021 By GerryBurke

Every three months, the members of Christians on Ageing receive a free copy of the organisation’s magazine. It is called plus and is a means of communication between the Executive Committee and members, between members themselves, and a source of information and reflection on issues of age and ageing.

You can choose to receive plus by post or via email as a pdf. If you choose to receive plus via email it means that we don’t have to print and post the magazine and so your membership fee can be invested in other areas of our work.

Our members consistently say that one of the reasons for maintaining their membership of Christians on Ageing is plus – for the variety of its articles, its support in Christian living and the sign-posting it gives to further reading or information.

The Editor is always happy to receive suggestions for articles or even a finished article to be considered for publication in a future issue. Contact the Editor by e-mail: info@ccoa.co.uk

You can view sample article from plus here:

Article from plus A utumn 19 about intergenerational fairness

Article from plus Autumn 20 on church attorneys

Go to Membership and follow the steps to apply for membership if you would like to receive a regular copy of the magazine.

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.

Christians on Ageing cannot deal with every issue affecting the lives of older people but it can highlight those which are causing public debate or concern. The charity’s first task is to identify these for its members and to provide information about the nature of the debate and the variety of views and opinions being proposed. Unless members of Christians on Ageing have been canvassed for their views or the Executive Committee has taken a policy decision, the articles here are to be considered an exploration of the issues rather than a formal comment. The nature of the contribution to the debate will always be made clear.

We only send occasionally, and do not share your information with other organisations
