Abstract

ABSTRACT Reflective practice, based on narrative case studies, highlights the need for practitioners to observe and integrate their own lifecycle rituals and thus become more open to collaborative ritual-making. This paper reviews 40 years of texts and research that have resourced and informed ritual practice that addressed later life, ageing, life review, spiritual reminiscence and dying. The pastoral and spiritual care formation of the author owes much to patients and parishioners who joined with him in the communitas of liminal moments where ritual transforms and transcends the hierarchy of caregivers in the community of caregiving.

仪式教给我们关于生活、幽默和衰老的东西。反之亦然?

基于叙述性案例研究的反思性实践强调实践者需要观察和整合他们自己的生命周期仪式，从而对协作仪式制作更加开放。本文回顾了40年来的文献和研究，这些文献和研究为晚年生活、衰老、生命回顾、精神回忆和死亡的仪式实践提供了资源和信息。作者的牧区和精神关怀的形成很大程度上归功于病人和教区居民，他们与他一起加入了社区的阈值时刻，仪式改变并超越了社区护理人员的等级。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Religion, Spirituality and Aging is an interdisciplinary, interfaith professional journal in which the needs, aspirations, and resources of aging constituencies come clearly into focus. Combining practical innovation and scholarly insight, the peer-reviewed journal offers timely information and probing articles on such subjects as long-term care for the aging, support systems for families of the aging, retirement, counseling, death, ethical issues, and more . Providing a crucial balance between theory and practice, the journal informs secular professionals – administrators, counselors, nurses, physicians, recreational rehabilitative therapists, and social workers – about developments in the field of Religion, Spirituality, and Aging. The journal also serves as a resource for religious professionals, such as pastors, religious educators, chaplains, and pastoral counselors who work with aging people and their families.
