520 |a Offering meaningful ministry to those affected by dementia provides a significant challenge to the Church. Those who would like to offer worship and pastoral care are often intimidated by their own fear, feelings of inadequacy or futility in the face of this devastating disease.

This article offers a theological reflection on the experience of ministering to those living with dementia and explores ways the Church might respond to this challenge.
