Seniors gather to consider path to purposeful aging

On Saturday July 05, 16 seniors and care providers gathered at St Clement's for a workshop titled "The Path to Graceful and Purposeful Aging." Facilitated by Diocese of New Westminster priest Miranda Sutherland, the workshop is designed primarily for active seniors 65+, as they continue on their spiritual journey of wisdom. By integrating Tornstam’s developmental theory with spirituality and other disciplines, this practical and engaging workshop sparked curiosity and began to scratch the surface into how the wider church can nurture its active seniors. 

The group included members of St Clement's as well as parishioners from churches around the Diocese. Wayne Nicholson (pictured above), a priest from the Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia, also attended as part of his sabbatical research in Canada.
