Educating for Inclusive, Caring Communities: What kind of education do clergy and ordinands require in order to include and care for people living with dementia and their carers and supporters?

Abstract

The Educating for Inclusive, Caring Communities report delves into the critical role that clergy and church leaders play in fostering inclusivity and support for individuals living with dementia and their carers within Christian communities. Through the Educating for Inclusive, Caring Communities project, we have explored how Theological Education Institutions (TEIs) in the UK and Australia currently prepare their students for dementia ministry and identified strategies for enhancing this aspect of their training.
