The 2005 CPSP Plenary Brochure(Brochure) provides the following description of the Plenary's theme:
Telling the Story of Pastoral Care Who We Were. Who We Are. What We Shall Be.
...
We, the people of pastoral care, share a unique heritage. We also live in a challenging time of change and face a possibly transformational future. The conference is designed to challenge CPSP to claim its place in the long pastoral care movement and to invite pastoral leaders outside of our community to interface with us. The Gathering of the Community Called CPSP
Robert Powell's two articles posted below, Whatever Happened to "CPE" -- Clinical Pastoral Education? and “The Continued Ability to Create and Invent”: Going for One Hundred Years of Clinical Pastoral Transformation, will be informative and serve as excellent preparation for the Plenary. I hope you will take the time to savor these two well written articles by Dr. Powell who is the preeminent historian in the clinical pastoral movement. -Perry Miller, Editor
