Residential weekend
For just £180 you can enjoy a weekend in the beautiful Peak District discovering more about spirituality in later life from Anna Chaplaincy pioneer Debbie Thrower.
The Cliff College Introduction to Ministry Among Older People is on 14–16 January 2022. The cost includes your accommodation and meals. There are breaks in the timetable for relaxation.
The weekend short course aims to cover some of the key issues surrounding ageing in the UK, such as the changing demographic, what is distinctive about the spirituality of ageing, as well as introducing the Anna Chaplaincy approach.
As we are a rapidly ageing population here in the UK, living longer offers the prospect of going on growing spiritually, as well as raising other emotional, physical and economic issues for the individual. How can we best support older people while celebrating their longevity? It should be a time of life offering a spiritual dividend of wisdom and experience.
