Tóm tắt

This paper challenges congregations to become centers for life-long learning. An experiment in educational programming conducted by Saint Olaf College at residences of the Ebenezer Society in Minneapolis, Minnesota is reported upon. The benefits derived from the program included: (1) growth in understanding of the Christian faith; (2) better understanding of political issues; (3) greater appreciation of the liberal arts; and (4) personal satisfaction. Also explored are the implications of the experiment for the educational programs of congregations. The greater interest in education by the new generation of elderly presents new opportunities to the churches. © Taylor © Francis Group, LLC.
