Many confused seniors have been active participants in their church or synagogue and have significant faith experiences. However, once they become confused, they are often seen as disruptive in services of worship and unreachable with the current tools of ministry. Thus, older adults who have Organic Brain Syndrome often become disenfranchised from the active life of their religious congregation. This article will summarize the findings of a study that culminated in the development of a model approach to ministry that combines the concepts of sensory stimulation, reality orientation, and worship to provide a focal point for ministry with the confused elderly. Once learned, this technique can be used successfully by anyone who is comfortable with leading worship. It can be applied in many settings, but is particularly useful in long-term care instit...","PeriodicalId":81690,"journal":{"name":"Journal of religion & aging","volume":"4 1","pages":"21-33"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1300/J491V04N02_02","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66347789","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The decline of older ethnic communities and the churches they built as aspiring immigrants conjoins issues of aging, church and urban life. The capacity of churches has been strained by the eclipse of community. Yet, churches, families and other mediating institutions can cushion the effects of neighborhood deterioration and its influence on the elderly. No matter how efficient economic transfer programs and human services systems are, the reality of \"soc~al poverty,\" caused by the breakdown of community support, is clear, and the number of neglected, isolated elderly will surely increase.

The model contains a sequence of three interdependent, developmental components. The first component examines the family context within which life review occurs and the pervasive influence of this context throughout the life cycle. The second component explains the role of designated groups or confidants in facilitating the sharing of memories, emotions, and self-assessment evoked in life review. The final component explores the ways in which this companionate life review elicits and affirms for older adults new, more gratifying images of God. A substantial body of investigation has elaborated upon the nature of life review and its contribution to mental health.1 Life review is a form of reminiscence concerned with the meaning that individuals attribute to their past behavior. Discerning this meaning is an evaluative process, eliciting a variety of emotions, in which persons assess their behavior in terms of the extent to which it conforms to deeply held values. In more profound experiences there can even be an assessment of the appropriateness of the values themselves as normative guidelines for personal behavior. Life review is a normal, integrative, and often spontaneous phenomenon that occurs throughout the life cycle. At each stage older adults have already drawn upon reminiscences for preceJames J.
