Progressively Institutionalised

Godfrey Baldacchino, in the latest SHARE Magazine, writes: "A lifestyle that also privileges youth, business and careerism, will find it hard to accept and dedicate time to the old, the infirm and the chronically sick. These are, like death and dying, progressively institutionalised, away from public circulation." This has certainly been my experience in ministry. OBSERVATION: However, in my African family, quite the opposite holds true. People are not removed from public circulation. The reality of this is not easy.
