Petrus Moolman, wat \u2019n gerontologiese pastoraat by die NG gemeente Overkruin in Pretoria beklee, tydens \u2019n gerontologiese seminaar wat Vrydag (28\/10) en Saterdag by die NG kerk Aandbloem by Westerbloem in Bloemfontein aangebied is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gerontologie is die wetenskap van veroudering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moolman verduidelik tydens die drie sessies wat telkens op verskeie groepe gefokus was, is daar in diepte gepraat oor aksieplanne om senior gemeentelede aktief betrokke te maak by die gemeente. Vrydag was kerkleiers byeen om te gesels oor hoe ouer gemeentelede waarlik kan l\u00e9\u00e9f.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDie aantal gemeentelede ouer as 65 jaar word al hoe meer, en daar moet \u2019n fokusverskuiwing kom weg daarvan om slegs bejaardes te bedien, na die maniere waarop bejaardes steeds ander kan dien.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hy s\u00ea mense word ouer, en slegs sowat 6% van gemeentelede moet versorging ontvang. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDie res kan \u2019n positiewe bydrae lewer en moet liggaamlik, geestelik en godsdienstig toegerus word om ander te kan dien.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moolman is \u2019n sprekende voorbeeld van hoe ouer gemeentelede steeds voluit kan leef en \u2019n bydrae tot die samelewing kan maak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hy het in 2018 op die ouderdom van 76 sy doktorsgraad in praktiese teologie aan die Noordwes-Universiteit behaal, met die fokus van sy studie op gerontologie uit \u2019n pastorale perspektief. Sy navorsing het gehandel oor aspekte wat ouerwordende mense se betekenisvolle veroudering bedreig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hy het sy eerste vrou, Rita, op \u2019n vroe\u00eb ouderdom weens Alzheimer se siekte verloor, nadat hy haar sewe jaar lank versorg het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hy s\u00ea hoewel dit \u2019n moeilike tyd in sy lewe was, was dit vir hulle \u2019n baie spesiale tyd. Hierdie ervaring het ook aanleiding gegee tot \u2019n skerp fokus in sy belangstelling en studie van demensie en Alzheimer se siekte in die besonder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moolman het reeds twee boeke uitgegee: die eerste in 2019 met die titel <em>Meaningful Ageing, <\/em>en vanjaar <em>L\u00e9\u00e9f: \u2019n Vars kyk op seniorvolwassenebediening in die
