Today, many churches and their related agencies and ministries are shrinking. Often a large portion of those who remain are older adults. Celebrating the Graying Church suggests that this is an opportunity for a new and different kind of ministry—a ministry to, with, and from older adults who may have wisdom to pass on to the legacy of the future generations. This book offers opportunities, ideas, and guidance for this new vision and practice of ministry, while also describing how aging adults in ministry can support each other and their faith communities.

Victoria Schmidt vividly tells the story of Madame De Staël who, motivated by uncompromising principles and fortified with the unlimited resources of her wealthy father, Jacques Necker, the minister of finance to Louis XVI, helped to bring down an unbridled tyrant and altered the course of history in France and the rest of the modern world. Although Germaine de Staël was among the first to recognize Napoleon as a "champion of democracy" and helped him rise to power, she was also one of the first to acknowledge his uncontrolled desire for military and political dominance. The emperor soon exiled her from her beloved France and banned her best-selling books and treatises. He forbade her to write and limited her movements to a small area around her country estate in Coppet, Switzerland. It was after a daring escape from Coppet, across the continent to Russia and Sweden, that she took part in formulating the military alliance between the Swedish Crown Prince and Czar Alexander that brought about Napoleon's downfall.
