A word from the editor

The current issue of the journal reflects the 8th International Conference on Ageing and Spirituality. These conferences have taken place in Australia, England and the U.S. Prior to the current COVID-19 the 9^th International Conference was planned. At this point this next conference is planning for 2021. For more information, please contact: Jane Kuepfer, RP, MDiv, PhD, Conrad Grebel University College, Waterloo, Canada, [email protected].

For both researchers and practitioners who work with older adults this conference is an important way to meet the authors and fellow practitioners. The richness of this conference is found in meeting the international attendees from all over the world. My thanks to Rev. Doctor Elizabeth MacKinlay and Dr. Ann Harrington for their important efforts to bring these articles together.
