- The Center for Aging, Religion and Spirituality (CARS)
- Incorporated in 1993, and housed at Luther Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota, the Center is an independent graduate level institution with an interfaith and multi-disciplinary approach to issues related to aging, religion and spirituality. The Center for Aging, Religion and Spirituality has three goals: (1) Education of religious leaders about aging, (2) Research into religion, spirituality and aging issues, and (3) Publication of quality research for scholarly and general reading.
- Center on Aging & Older Adult Ministry
- The Center on Aging & Older Adult Ministries provides quality resources and valuable training support to help equip leaders (both clergy and laity) in their ministry of faith development with midlife and older adults.
- Our purpose is to create and provide care resources which offer help and hope to the hurting. Our resources, now touching nearly ten million hearts per year, communicate that God cares and is near in good times and in bad. ONE CARING PLACE resources give special emphasis to grief, illness, and distress issues. Our sole mission is to help caring organizations make a healing difference in people's lives.
With the creation of a series of small booklets known as "CareNotes," ONE CARING PLACE began offering its series of "people-helping booklets" worldwide. Since that date, more than 400 individual publications have been produced, and sales worldwide now exceed 60 million copies.
CareNotes were conceived with two fundamental beliefs in mind:
1. The right words at the right time make all the difference in the world to people who are hurting
2. Less can be more-when people are dealing with intensely emotional issues.
Additionally, the gift-book publications of ONE CARING PLACE-book series such as Elf-help Books and PrayerStarters-- are featured in thousands of gift shops and bookstores nationwide. They've also been translated into more than a dozen languages worldwide.
Serving people's deepest needs for help and hope, ONE CARING PLACE continues to expand its offerings of support literature and its outreach to caring institutions and organizations.
