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.

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 Canadas leading public intellectuals and three of Regents own gifted and beloved scholars as they think about the implications and the opportunities that this next great challenge offers us.
