The Spirituality & Ageing Group was formed in 2000 by some older Qaukers who were reaching a new phase of life, and were srtuggling to understand the lessons of old age, and its challenges. At the heart of this struggle is the daily confrontation with the diminishment of our physical and mental abiliteis, and also the loneliness caused by the loss of those nearest to us. However, our spiritual lives are undiminished by age, and sometimes enhanced by it.
