This book challenges prevailing negative representations of aging men, which often revolve around a vision of inevitable decline due to retirement from the labour market. It offers an in-depth exploration of their lived, embodied experiences that takes advantage of extended interviews and commentaries. The diversity of aging men's experiences are investigated and include: different levels of physical competence; coming to terms with Parkinson's disease; the sexual practices of heterosexual and homosexual aging men; the caring strategies of aging male caregivers looking after their chronically ill partners, and; the survival strategies of ethnically diverse and working class men. Exploring Aging Masculinities reveals that the aging process can provoke changes in the masculine identities of older men. The loss of social power and status, physical capacity and sexual potency in some aging men often leads to critical reassessment, life review and transitions. This book will be of great interest to those working in the sociology of aging and social policy, as well as professionals working with older men.

Leading authorities in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom explore the diaconate from a variety of perspectives, particularly those of the Anglican Communion, the Roman Catholic Church and the Ukrainian Catholic Church. There are also contributions from the Methodist and Lutheran traditions. The historical development of the order of deacons and its theological basis in the Western and Eastern Churches is discussed. The contributors examine topical issues such as the case for and against the retention of the transitional diaconate and the place of women in the diaconate. There are essays on the roles of the deacon in prophetic ministry, liturgy and worship, the diaconate in ecumenical dialogue, and best practices in the formation of deacons. Adopting an ecumenical perspective, the authors emphasize the relevance and potential of the diaconate for the Churches in the twenty-first century, finding much common ground as well as some differences between the Christian traditions. The book therefore makes a significant contribution to contemporary international ecumenical dialogue, notably between the Roman Catholic and Anglican Communions.
