520 |a This study helps to answer significant questions: Are older people really more spiritual than others? Does age negate social consciousness? Is personal spirituality inimical to social ethics as a heritage of last century’s fundamentalist-modernist controversies? Survey data from 1,188 women in the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod provides evidence related to those questions. Using numerous uni- and multi-dimensional indicators of spirituality and of social ethics, it found that seniors (aged 65 plus) were spiritually the most mature of four age cohorts. They also had strong social consciousness and high levels of ethical behavior. The findings support conclusions of research elsewhere that aging is positively related to both spirituality and social ethics, which in turn are correlated with each other. The aging process itself appears to be a more important explanation of generational differences in spirituality than cohort and period effects.
