Chaplains from across the South gather next week (October 11-12, 2007) for the Mid-South Regional Fall Chaplains Conference in Greenville, MS. In the spirit of collaboration and collegiality, the event is sponsored by the Little Rock Chapter and the Deep South Chapter of CPSP along with the four state chaplain organizations in Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Tennessee. The conference has also been approved for 8 hours of Continuing Chaplaincy Education credits by the Association of Professional Chaplains.
This event is truly a “broad tent” including registrants who are members of CPSP, APC, ACPE, AAPC, and NAVAC as well as a few non-affiliated chaplains.
Headlining the conference will be Dr. Larry Burton, past president of APC and long recognized as a leader in professional chaplaincy. He will present Thursday night on the topic “When Religion Becomes an Ethical Issue.” Other workshops on Friday include “Encountering the Sacred through Organ Donation,” “Internal Family Systems,” “Turning Death into Healing – the Perspective of Palliative Care,” and “The Long Journey Home – Working with Troops Returning from War.”
