SPIRITUALITY AND AGING!? We’re living longer than any previous generation. There are new challenges with every added year, but there are also new possibilities. The purpose of the Northeast Forum on Spirituality and Aging is to bring together church leaders, professional service providers, organizations and individuals to: •   explore and better understand the intersection of Spirituality and Aging.  •   be passionate about ministry to, by, and with older adults. •   challenge the ageism of our culture—the pervasive negative images of aging •   promote intergenerational activities to enhance the quality of life for all people. •   create a network within our local communities to promote lifelong learning, encourage and support each other in our work. •   share information, books, events, programs, frustrations, and hopes with like minded people across the state. We invite you to join us as we explore, challenge, promote, create, and share our passion for ministry to, by, and with older adults and lift up spirituality as an important part of our growth.
