CHAPLAINCY PROGRAMS AND "THE REVOLUTION"

Letter to the Editor:

As usual, our “fearless leader” is too modest in his recent comments from Asia. Without jumping into a straightforward advertisement for the CPSP General Secretary’s new book, let us continue to recommend at least Chapter 15, pp.96-104, "Anton Boisen's Contribution to the Sexual Revolution." [Aim your web browser’s search engine toward “Raymond J. Lawrence,” and you’ll find references to his books and articles soon enough.] Of course, once you sample Chapter 15 you’ll end up reading the entire book and recommending it widely.

It’s good to hear that Raymond’s presentations on indigenously relevant clinical pastoral work and on sexuality are being well received in the Philippines – and we would like to assume they will be well received in Hong Kong, China. Next stops? Singapore? India? Israel? Iraq? Afghanistan? CPSP has consistently encouraged local groups of professional chaplains to organize CPE programs that fit their unique local needs.
