Growing Spiritually through Life’s Aging Transitions |
|
|
|
|
Presented May 20, 2008 at the
Wayne E. Oates Institute Spring Forum
|
Rev. Dr. Georgine Buckwalter, Director of Pastoral Care at the Episcopal Church Home in Louisville, Kentucky and Chaplain of St. Luke’s Chapel, challenged the American idea that “successful aging” is when one can live proudly and independently without the help of anyone else and instead suggested, “successful aging can happen when one is flat on their back on oxygen – or when one is graciously receiving care as well as giving it.” She went on to say that “holy surrender to circumstances or holy cooperation with circumstances is never spiritual failure!”
