Description: "Dementia can pose challenges for Christians, not least evangelicals who may view cognition as the way people understand the Bible and come to faith. But how should we respond to and come alongside people with dementia? This booklet urges Christians to make their churches dementia-friendly places that demonstrate kingdom values and practices to all, especially those with cognitive impairment. It explores how churches can welcome and support those with dementia and their carers, enabling them to be participants not just in their local community, but in their own lives"--Page 4 of cover.
