We have already gotten off to an amazing start with the 2016 Sowing Seeds for Our Holy Work Annual Campaign! Because of your support, we raised over $20,000 in gifts and pledges at the Foundation Donor Reception at this year's ACPE Conference, with over $40,000 in gifts and pledges raised to date! The energy at the reception was amazing, and it was great to see so many of our colleagues give generously toward the future of spiritual care education. Let's continue the momentum!

The 2016 Innovative Program Award grant cycle is now open! Applicants are invited to submit proposals for innovative CPE projects that do not exceed $5,000.

Learning is at the heart of what we do. All the constituencies in Reflective Practice from richly varied religious traditions - whether they be CPE supervisors, chaplains, pastoral counselors, supervisors and mentors in contextual education, religious educators, spiritual directors or guides - are involved in somehow with teaching and learning. We teach concepts, skills, attitudes, intuition, and practical wisdom in a wide variety of contexts with learners who are equally diverse. How does learning occur? What are the implications of adult education theory for the distinct work of preparing religious leaders? The theme for volume 36 of Reflective Practice is "How Do Adults Learn?"
The June 2016 issue of the Journal of Pastoral Care & Counseling is now available.

ACPE is again a proud sponsor of the Journal of Pastoral Care & Counseling (JPC&C). ACPE members can now access the JPC&C as a benefit of their membership.
 
An access link to the journal has been posted on the Resources page on the ACPE website. Members must be logged into the ACPE website to be granted access.
