CPE (Clinical Pastoral Education)

    Assisting Chaplains

       Community Service Placements

          Continuing Education for Clergy


Welcome to the website for Caring Community Ministry Education (CCME).  It is my hope that among these web-based pages you will learn how this ministry can assist individuals in their growth as pastoral caregivers as well as institutions as they desire to better serve the holistic and spiritual needs of their patients/clients.

This ministry is based upon the proven educational and developmental principles of Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE).  By combining hands-on learning opportunities with the rigor of theological reflection, CPE has helped to train thousands of ministers, rabbis, chaplains and other pastoral caregivers to support people in change and crisis.

In addition, with programs at hundreds of caring institutions around the world, CPE has made it possible for these institutions to extend both their patient support network and their pastoral care dollars through the placement of supervised CPE students.
 
Both this website and Caring Community Ministry Education are new and works “in progress.”  More material will be added, but for the moment, both students seeking Clinical Pastoral Education through ACPE and institutions desiring to expand their support system can find valuable information here (see “Students” and “Institutions.”) 
 
I look forward to speaking with you personally so that a program may be developed to meet your or your institution’s specific needs.  Please contact me at the phone number or e-mail address given at this site.  Why not begin now to plan for a new growth opportunity!
