You Visited Me: Encouraging Spiritual Practice in a Secular World
Ebook
Overview
You Visited Me explores current work practices in pastoral care, supervision, and spirituality, and how one can experience a new type of ministry with the theory of CPE and its methods in a secular world. This book is divided into three sections: history, framework, and theology of clinical pastoral education; clinical pastoral education and spiritual practice in a secular world; and Anton Theophilus Boisen and clinical pastoral education from an apocalyptic aspect.
“An important resource for chaplains, ministers, and pastoral
carers, the essays collected in this volume provide the reader with
a broad overview of the history, practice, and theological
rationale of Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) in the Australian
context. Writing from a range of perspectives, the contributors
offer helpful insights into the practical and theoretical learning
experienced by CPE students and the value of that learning for the
provision of spiritual care within a secular society.”
—Barbara Howard, Director, Hunter Centre for CPE
“CPE is today more than ever a central element in the formation and
continuing development of those in ministry. It is also central to
the evolution of new forms of ministry and service. Alan Galt and
Sang Taek Lee, who are leaders in CPE, have brought together an
outstanding group of contributors to provide up-to-date,
practice-based, and theologically informed reflections on CPE. At
the heart of effective CPE are collaboration and reflective
practice. This book exemplifies both.”
—Ross Chambers, former Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Charles Sturt
University
“The efficacy of the methodology of Clinical Pastoral Education is
already proven and well known. This book will deepen our
understanding of this method and its relevance to different
contexts. The authors address the challenges of the present moment
in Australia and offer innovative ways to further develop the CPE
model, all the while honoring its ecumenical and theological
practice.”
—Gerard Kelly, Professor, Catholic Institute of Sydney
