ACPE Presidential Election

In the last few issues of the ACPE e-News  the presidential candidates have been answering questions submitted by you.  Below are the questions selected this month.

  

 

                                                      

 

  

"ACPE and APC have different demographics and cultures.  How would you bring these two different populations together at least in awareness and openness to the other's "culture"?"

Louise C. Gregg, ACPE Supervisor, Baltimore, MD 

  

David Johnson's Response

Tim Thorstenson's Response

  

 

"I want to know if and how the presidential candidates would build more connections with international organizations that want to offer or are interested in CPE training. There are international movements in Holland and Germany that have existed for many years, but there is no/not much connection.  There are institutions in Jamaica and other countries who would be interested in partnerships of having US CPE supervisors offer CPE training there, or have natives trained to become SES/CPE supervisors.  Do the candidates have such broad international vision?"

Dorothea Lotze-Kola, Th.M., ACPE Supervisor, Director of CPE,

The Institute for Chaplaincy and CPE, CCCG, Decatur, GA

Jewish Supervisors Network's Response

We received your notice about the 2013 ACPE National Conference being held over Shavuot.

 

We do not doubt your sincere regret.  However, this is hardly the first time ACPE meetings have been scheduled on our Holy Days - regret under these circumstances is not enough. We must have action to assure that this does not happen again.

Racial, Ethnic, Multicultural (REM) Network

Dear REM Attendees and Network Partners:

 

I, along with our newly elected executive team of officers, am still overwhelmed with the support and encouragement offered us in the midst of these simultaneous transitions of REM's leadership and that of our parent organization, ACPE.  I want to again personally pledge to you my focused energy and earnest commitment to the business of REM and its future as an ACPE Network and a professional collaboration for race, ethnicity and culture as it relates to what we do.

A Message from the FCPE Board President 

FCPE Logo without Flame 

Sowing Seeds for Our Holy Work 2012 Annual ACPE/FCPE Campaign is well underway thanks to the hard work and dedication of Miriam Needham.  We are most grateful to Miriam for her leadership of this effort to raise $125,000.

 

The annual campaign traditionally resources FCPE's operating budget and supports grants for pioneering CPE programs.  This year, 20% of the raised amount will be used for this purpose.

 

To date, we have received 65 gifts and pledges totaling $27,279.

 

Please feel free to contact Len Al Haas at lenal@acpe.edu or 678-636-6225 with questions or comments about the FCPE.
