- "'Ministry with Senior Citizens' was the theme of a consultation held at the Interface Academy in Pakenham, England, from 26 to 31 October 1991. Convened by the World Council of Churches' sub-unit on Renewal and Congregational Life, the consultation brought together 32 people, most of them from churches, academies and lay centres engaged in ministry with older people". -- Preface, p. [ix].
- "'Humanity Comes of Age' examines the concept of 'old age' and presents a detailed and informed analysis of the situation which the church and must address in its ministry with senior citizens. It urges the churches radically to rethink their programmes and reorder them in ways that will enable the old 'to affirm life throughout its lengthening course'." -- back cover.

- This book "is an offering to churches and the world -- a significant and vital addition to the continuum of knowledge -- that will greatly assist churches to be effective and efficient in the struggle to overcome HIV/AIDS. It is a compilation of historical, scientific and statistical material aimed at providing churches and their partners with a better understanding of the dynamics of HIV/AIDS as well as current information to aid in collaborative efforts at answering the challenge of the disease. .... On a practical level this response is deliberately multi-faceted and interactive, encouraging churches and Christian service organizations to build and support coalitions dedicated to overcoming this epidemic". -- Preface.
