An Online Annotated Bibliography for graceful aging
The Center on Aging of Union-PSCE
Henry C. Simmons, editor.

The Center on Aging of Union-PSCE is no longer acquiring new materials

in the field of religion, spirituality, and aging,

and so as of May 30, 2009, this bibliography will become an archival resource.

We sincerely hope that it will continue to be a useful body of information

for those who are interested in the field.
