Description
Summary:A Delphi study identifying selected ministers’ predictions concerning older-adult ministry was conducted in 1993. Theological education as it related to older-adult ministry was considered important, neglected, and in need of enhancement. Predictions of the study were evaluated in the current research. The 2018 study suggests that theological education as it relates to older-adult ministry is still considered important, neglected, and in need of enhancement. This follow-up research reflected the validity of the original study.
