05/19/2012 – Regent College Conference on Aging

More people are living longer today than in any time in history. Seniors are the fastest-growing age group in North America. Yet neither Church nor culture seems adequately prepared to face the needs, the costs, and moral consequences of this “grey tsunami.” Cultural models for meeting the challenge of aging either are based on denial or succumb to despair. Aging in hopelessness is misery, aging in false hope is ruinous, aging with no forward look at all is pathetic. Could the biblical vision of human life offer us a more realistic, more ethical, and more hopeful understanding of age and aging? Join one of Canada’s leading public intellectuals and three of Regent’s own gifted and beloved scholars as they think about the implications and the opportunities that this next great challenge offers us.
