Publications

1st March 2021 By GerryBurke

Christians on Ageing publishes short, accessible, low cost booklets and related material. All our publications are on topics of interest to older people and to those people who support their life of faith.

Our current list can be found by visiting the Bookshop where you will find details about the individual titles and can make purchases. 

We publish items for various reasons: sometimes we wish to fill a gap in provision, or there may be a need for an easy to read introduction or overview of a subject, and often it can be to give practical insight into a common problem.

Our booklets are not glossy or expensive because we want them to be readily accessible to everyone regardless of their purchasing power. Feedback from customers tells us that this approach is much appreciated.

Our titles cover four main areas: spirituality; dementia care; pastoral care; and residential care.

If you have come across a title no longer on our list, copies may still be available.  Please contact the Publications Officer either by e-mail: info@ccoa.org.uk  or by post:  ‘Stoneway’, Hornby Road, Appleton Wiske, Northallerton DL6 2AF for information.

We are always looking to expand our range of titles so, if you feel that there is a subject we should cover or if you wish to be considered as the author of a booklet, please use the Contact Us facilities on our website. We look forward to hearing from you.

 

Further Reading

It would be impossible to list all the books and magazines dealing with age and ageing, plus all the material now available on-line.  Instead, we have listed some good introductory publications, both general and more academic, which we are happy to recommend.

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

Comment & Opinion

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.

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
