Clinical pastoral education, summer 2026 | veterans affairs

Clinical Pastoral Education is an interfaith method of theological education through which a student exercises and learns pastoral skills. It provides a learning situation to develop

awareness of the theological and psycho-social concerns of persons in crisis. We seek to celebrate, refine and to enhance your already natural, innate, and honed gifts for spiritual care.

This will be done through structured weekly educational elements, peer group engagement, and supervision and instructions from experts in the field. UPCOMING CLASSES: VA LEBANON HEALTHCARE
