Abstract
ABSTRACTA Church of England parish church explored ways to develop its work with older people within the church and wider community through a participative action research project. As the key action the research group developed a short course for people over 55 through which they could share their practical wisdom about how to age well. The findings suggest some ordinary ways in which older people can be enabled to adopt a positive attitude, overcome obstacles and challenge a deficit model of ageing. Theological reflection suggests the value of normalising ageing.
