Thus far, I&#8217;ve scribbled lists on:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thomascreedy.com\/a-bibliography-sex-and-gender\/\">Sexuality and Gender<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thomascreedy.com\/a-bibliography-being-human\/\">Being Human<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Prayer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This blog post, I hope, will be another living bibliography. It will deal with the ever-present but not always very &#8216;sexy&#8217; topic of aging and older people. Whilst I am under 30, through church and family and work I am connected with people older than me, people who are aging. I&#8217;m also at present a Trustee of <em>Pilgrims Friends<\/em>, a Christian charity whose vision is &#8216;Christians for Older People&#8217;. I can&#8217;t do everything &#8211; no one person can &#8211; but I feel this is an issue that the Lord has laid on my heart, and a topic to pursue in reading. I don&#8217;t realisticalyl think I&#8217;ll write anything serious on it for the time being &#8211; but it feeds into my bigger project of trying to engage with a biblical understanding of what it means to be human.<\/p>\n<p>I hope that provides something of a rationale for this new, little bibliography.
