Dear Sir,
It’s encouraging to read that Mr Baverstock has been involved with services in care homes in the community for many years (Letters, February en). And I completely agree when he says that it’s time to rethink the traditional hymn/prayer/epilogue that has formed the context of devotions for so long.
This is not simply because there are fewer Christian residents to whom this may be relevant. In our homes (Pilgrims’ Friend Society) residents are drawn from all Protestant denominations with a wide range of ‘traditional’ services, so have differing expectations.
