mary sources for social services, according
to Tirrito.
"Many churches today are doing
more for their members," he said. "But
in our studies, we found that the Korean
and African-American denominations
offered many more social services
to its members than other
denominations."
Tirrito's studies suggest that older
adults want their places of worship
to offer such things ^
as support groups, .
meals and nursing It IS til1
services. the chu
Half of those ~
surveyed in a C3TC lOf

nior center said ?
they wanted pro- memo
grams for emotional
health, recre- Terry
ation, and Professor ol
education and personal
needs.
"There is a very
definite need for
these services," Tirrito said. "Older
adults are reluctant to go to social service
agencies because there is a stigma
attached to the government programs.
Religious organizations do not
have a stigma attached to them. For
example, a support group for newly
bereaved men is more acceptable if
group meetings are sponsored by a
church or synagogue than by a local
mental health clinic."
According to Tirrito, lack of training
often prevents churches from delivering
these services.

"A major obstacle is that, for the
most part, priests, ministers and rabbis
don't have gerontological training,"
Tirrito said.
"We found that 69 percent of the
religious leaders we spoke to did not
have any training in aging issues, although
some churches have from 30
to 80 percent elderly members."
Seminaries in the United States
only recently have included gerontological
content in the programs.
