U'ge Active Role In Family Life For Elderly, WASHINGTON (NC) The aging person should be encouraged to take an active part in family. and congregational life and not be treated I:lS an outcast. This was a key point in a 1,200-word policy statement submitted to the White House Con-' ference on Aging by its religious section. The statement's preamble said that "the meaning of life is to be found solely in man's relationship to God." Any attitude hindering ,the right of the aging person "to responsible membership within the religious fellowship . . • must be regarded as a contradiction to religious teaching," the statement asserted. It pointed out that both the family and congregation have a direct responsibility to provide special services, educational ma~ terials and programs for the aging. But "every effort should be made to see that these do not involve an unnecessary separation from the main stream oj( familial or congregational lifep'" the statement stressed. TUB to Page Eighteem
