Synopsis

Richard Johnson wants parishes to become more active, more assertive, and more focused on ministering to those in their maturing years; thus, this book. He believes that this time of life has immense spiritual potential for people to draw closer both to God and to their true selves. Johnson sees this ministry growing steadily and surely, taking its rightful place among other parish ministries. He believes that maturing adults need the church's care and compassion, an understanding of their real needs as they are now, the necessary help in discerning the call of god today, encouragement to continue their spiritual pilgrimage, and direction to reach out to others in new ways. This new vision for parish ministry with maturing adults moves beyond social activities to a new model of spiritual growth and personal development.
