Keynote speaker is Professor James M Grier, Th. D., distinguished professor of philosophical theology, Grand Rapids, USA; author, preacher, teacher and conference speaker. Among his special interests are medical ethics and ministry in a post- modern culture. Other speakers: Janet Jacob is a specialist in the care of people with dementia. She is a psychogeriatric nurse and former home manager with Pilgrim Homes. Now she takes seminars and gives talks in churches, conferences and care homes. Roger Hitchings is a theologian and pastor, writer and trustee of Pilgrim Homes. A former Director of Age Concern in Birmingham, he once ran the largest day unit for dementia sufferers in the UK.
