Faith in Later Life exists to inspire and equip Christians to reach, serve and empower older people in every community, through the local Church
Your Faith in Later Life shortcuts
This excellent resource has been developed and produced by Professor Keith Brown, the founding director of the National Centre for Post Qualifying Social Work- in partnership with Faith in Later Life.
This guidance considers a range of issues facing older people and challenges churches and Christian faith organisations to do the same. Those living in the fourth age are not a homogeneous group; to start with they represent people from different generations, with different life experiences, a range of health issues and different social situations.
The diversity of the fourth age provides great opportunity for churches and Christian faith organisations; this guidance gives some ideas to churches for different ministries, outreach and mission among older people.
This resource is free to download- click here to access.

A series of webinars with John Stevens connected to church leadership in lockdown.
It’s not easy to talk about death, dying and funerals. But if we neglect these subjects, we can be unprepared for our own death and the deaths of those close to us.
GraveTalk is an excellent pastoral resource which can help people start thinking and talking about these key topics.
It offers 50 unique cards for use in small groups, each with a thought-provoking question to get the conversation started.
Find it in our Resource Hub here: faithinlaterlife.org/fill-resource/grave-talk/
