​Discover the Power of Transformation​

Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) is professional theological education for ministry designed for clergy, seminary students, and qualified laypersons. Through a reflection-in-action process of education, participants learn and grow in the art of pastoral care. They are challenged to improve the quality and effectiveness of their pastoral relationships through an intense and in-depth involvement with people in crisis, fellow CPE students, supervisors, and other professionals. The concept of CPE, first conceived by Dr. Richard Cabot, was expanded by the Reverend Anton Boisen to include a case study method of theological inquiry — a study of the “living human document.” As CPE developed, other CPE leaders expanded CPE to integrate the knowledge of medicine, psychology, and behavioral sciences into pastoral practice. Today many CPE supervisors emphasize the importance of forming pastoral relationships through an integration of personal history, behavioral theory and method, and spiritual development.
