Yang Byeong-mo: Pastoral Care and Counseling for the Elderly

It is a global phenomenon beyond the local and cultural level. And the group that will be most directly and seriously affected by aging in Korean society is South Korean Christianity and the church. Today, when South Koreans are over 83 years old, more than 20 years pass before retirement. And this is where life begins to have different physical, economic, emotional and relational difficulties. So society is taking a long step in preparing for the change that will be caused by aging, with the demand for pensions and other social security systems and older people's welfare. But the influence of aging on population costs will be more common in Korea than in Korean society, and it seems that the South Korean church is not so concerned with the growing number of elderly people in the church. The next generation, which is a major concern in the church, which has difficulty predicting church growth and education programs and religious reform, is the reality that we should not consider the main considerations or the foreseeable older generation. The future that is already predicted, as Jesus said, is a common sense of life that should be prepared. From this point on, the influence of old age, which has just been being discussed by the Korean church, should be brought to our attention, effectively caring for the elderly and making these available as new resources within the Church. In this regard, The Age of Pastoral Care and Counseling has helped Korean churches and pastors to face the reality of the old age of their Korean church and set the direction of their cattle company.
