« CPE Graduation Meditation: A View From the Mat By Stan Yancey | Main | Notice From Raymond Lawrence »
August 28, 2006
The ACPE has lately been taking the low road in its competition with CPSP. Its information and announcements have been marked by faulty claims and aggression.
I urge the leadership to consider taking the high road of competitiveness supported by a gracious collegiality.
The larger community needs a healthy, decent ACPE that travels the high road. We in CPSP especially need for the ACPE to travel that road. We share a crucially important common task. There is plenty of work for both communities. Besides that, ten, twenty, fifty, or a hundred years from now, when small-minded persons take over the leadership in the CPSP, some of us might ourselves seek another, kinder community, one that fosters justice truth, and a generosity of spirit.
Raymond J. Lawrence
General Secretary
