The ACPE Board of Representatives met in Decatur, GA from November 10-12, 2013.  The Board heard reports, addressed concerns, and took actions on many agenda items including the following: ACPE Property Committee, Annual Campaign, Bylaws Change, Conference Structure Initiative Task Force, Strategic Plan, Program Grant Awards, and U.S. Department of Education.

Believe it or not, 2013 is drawing to a close.  By now you will have received a letter from Bill Scrivener and me asking you to donate to our 2013 ACPE Annual Campaign.  You may have heard or will be hearing from your regional Champion who will also be reminding you of this opportunity to support our Association of Clinical Pastoral Education.

This year we have not been concerned about the amount of your donation but that we can reflect to our potential donors and previous donors that the members of our Association give 100% to its financial support.

This webinar reflects on the "professional practice to heal a hurting world," a segment of the mission of ACPE.  The social hurts of the world will be identified along with three main spiritual issues followed by an exploration of the professional/pastoral responsibility to resist, empower and liberate. Subsequent identities and roles to be developed and CPE Level I, II curricular components needed in the growth of future practitioners are highlighted.  Urban CPE experiences are used as one model.  Register now.  

The National Conference Committee would like your ideas about how and why we meet as an association.  Please take less than five minutes to complete the attached survey.  This is very important to our future.

Jewish seminary students and clergy are engaging in CPE programs around the country in record numbers.  While CPE programs welcome them into their groups, many supervisors have had little exposure to the texture of Jewish sources and Jewish living.  The Jewish Theological Seminary's Center for Pastoral Education invites ACPE Supervisors, Associate Supervisors and Supervisory Candidates to join members of our faculty for Jewish study and consultation in order to enhance the supervision of Jewish students.
