The Faith Metamorphosis in Advance Age Believers
Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper analyzes if the practice of faith has its foothold in social interaction and if it suffers changes on an advanced age group due vulnerability, illness, disability or retirement, or while the physical straightness, consumption requirements, social and economic interactions get reduced and therefore a decrease in daily activities that produce changes in the lifestyle and the social relationships. I argue that as the person’s age grows, the less active and more passive faith becomes, which doesn’t imply that new public, private and mostly intimate expressions of faith aren’t being generated and followed with changes on the perceptions of the material and spiritual world.
