Infusing Gerontological Content into Theological Education.

Knapp, James L.; Elder, Jane

Educational Gerontology, v28 n3 p207-17 Mar 2002

A survey of 196 theological seminaries with various religious affiliations received 131 responses. Several have added a course on older adults' needs and concerns. However, gerontological content is a minor part of the overall curriculum, and only 21% planned to modify programs to include such content. (SK)
