Soul stories help elders weave life tapestries


SOUL STORIES HELP ELDERS WEAVE LIFE TAPESTARIES


I just finished reading the write up about the above "Soul stories help elders weave life tapestaries" by Anne E. Streaty Wimberly. She is the author of Soul Stories: African American Christian Education, revised edition (Abingdon, 2005), and is professor of Christian Education and church musice at the Inter-denominational Theological Center in Atlanta. This article is based on her presentation at the 2008 Aging in America Conference of the American Society and Aging and national Council of Aging.


Just an outline:

The Tapestry Threads:

The Thread of Identity

The Thread of Social Context

The Thread of Interpersonal Relationships

The Thead of Life Events

The Thread of Life Meaning

The Thread of Life's Unfolding Design (Anne E. Streaty Wimberly, Aging Today, July-August 2008)
