Church and Society Magazine
Encircling Care: Alzheimer's Disease and Congregational Caregiving
May/June 2003 issue. This issue draws the majority
of its articles from a national conference held in March 2003 entitled "Encircling
Care." It continues the conference conversation about congregational
caregiving, with a specific focus on older adults, particularly people
and families struggling with Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias
(ADRD).
The journal focuses on difficult, life-altering
issues—the loss of the ability to live independently,
dementia, end-of-life questions, grief, choices about long-term
care. Yet the caring response of congregations, motivated
by conviction and concern and woven throughout these pages,
demonstrate the interconnectedness of our faith.
$3.00. Shipping and handling charges apply.
