CLINICAL PASTORAL EDUCATION PROGRAM 2011
Clinical Pastoral Education is designed to provide quality professional training in ministry. It is designed to be a comprehensive educational experience through the practice of ministry. The heart of CPE is your ministry with people and learning from that ministry through reflection, discussion, and evaluation with other students and your supervisor.
In your CPE experience, you will utilize verbatim (in the form of Pastoral Care Reports), case studies, and other ministry descriptions to present your ministry to supervision.
Discussions will be conducted to assist you in understanding theological issues arising from experience.
There will be opportunities to learn from behavioral sciences while also reflecting theologically, so you can draw from both in understanding the human condition.
You will be challenged to think about groups and social structures as well as individuals in defining your ministry. The focus will be on what is happening to the people receiving your ministry.
You also will be part of a dynamic learning group with other students and your supervisor, which will provide opportunities for mutual supervision, care giving, challenge and appreciation.
The program is set up to train persons to be more effective pastoral ministers: hearing stories with increasing sensitivity and awareness of the intra/inter- personal dynamics, the spiritual themes that offer meaning and hope, and the place of one's own story in how one chooses to minister.
