Abstract
This article reports the results of a survey of seminary students (pre- and post-aging course groups) regarding the issue of what they need and want from seminary courses in aging and theology. The author found increased perspectives on aging in the post-course group and lower appreciation for diversity in older adults in the pre-course group. Both groups reported a desire for deeper understandings of the aging process, help with integrating theology and practice, and practical resources for wise practice. The author argues for designing proactive, over reactive, ministry programs for older adults and employing imaginative paradigms in pedagogy.
