AB - The purpose of this study is to examine the Christian ethical meaning and the practice of ‘aging’ in the Christian social welfare field. Social discourse and ethical support for aging in aged society are necessary. Whether longevity and aging society is a blessing or disaster depends on how individuals and society view aging and old age. At present, our society has a strong negative perception toward aging, so-called ‘anti-aging’. As a result, in the social welfare field, programs for the elderly mainly focus on preventing or overcoming aging rather than successfully aging. Such negative attitudes as anxiety, fear of aging and death may amplify the sense of loss for the present life and cause moral problems by creating distortions and attachments to life. Whereas, the Bible describes the process of aging as a process in the providence of creation order, and the old age is seen as a blessing, not as decline or loss, but as a time when God’s grace is given. Based on the biblical understanding of aging, this study aims to provide a viewpoint to overcome the old stereotypes and misinformation about aging while respecting the culture and trends of modern society. Furthermore, this study discussed ways to promote positive generational exchanges. Based on the results of the research, we presented a practical alternative to Christian social welfare for the elderly and church service.
