‘This is such an exciting tool for equipping church and caring for older people in a way that other mainstream, national, organisations cannot do.’
‘Tricia Williams, author of God’s not forgotten me: Experiencing Faith in Dementia
Course presenter John Swinton says: ‘One of the things this course does is give us a language to articulate what it means to get old and to age well.'
'In a culture where ageing is oftentimes looked upon as a negative, the spiritual care course tries to say, no, it's not negative. There are good things in here. If we can just get the right frame on things, then we can live well even in difficult circumstances.'
Professor John Swinton author of Finding Jesus in the Storm: The Spiritual Lives of Christians with Mental Health Challenges
