Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE)
Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) is professional education for ministry which brings theological students, ordained clergy, members of religious orders, and qualified laypersons into supervised encounters with "living human documents" in order to develop their pastoral identity, interpersonal competence and ministry development. |

Ministry with people and learning from that ministry through reflection, discussion and evaluation with other students and the supervisor is the very heart of CPE. The CPE process utilizes verbatims, case studies and other means for reporting ones ministry for evaluation and supervision. The discussion will focus on what is happening with the caregiver, as much as what is happening to the people receiving ministry.
The CPE students will be involved in weekly seminars and supervision which focus on theological, medical, psychological, emotional, interpersonal and group dynamics. The entire experience provides opportunities for challenge, support, caregiving and reflection.
