« APC - Blogging from the Spot for CPSP - INSTALLMENT 1 | Main | What Will it Take for You to Change? by Alexis Versalle »
Al Henager, CPSP Clinical Chaplain, is attending the 2008 national conference of the Association of Professional Chaplains in Pittsburgh, March 6 -13. He is sending updates about the conference especially regarding CPSP. He is calling his reports "Blogging from the Spot."
=====================================
Greetings from Pittsburgh! The rain continued, but I had more work to do at the APC conference. This year, CPSP arranged to have a display in the exhibitor's area of the conference. For the last several months, in consultation with Raymond, Perry, and others, we had developed a professional CPSP display unit just for such exhibitions. It packs light and travels well. As soon as I was allowed to do so, I set up the display at table 816 reserved for CPSP.
Almost immediately, people began to stop by to ask questions. There is an amazing interest in CPSP with chaplains from all over. Just in the first hour, I handed out dozens of brochures and flyers, all directing folks to our website for more information.
There are several CPSP folks attending the conference. Among them are Charles Kirby, Beverly Jessup, David Plummer, Phil Pinkard, Don Marsh, David Baker, Ken Blank, and myself.
In the picture, CPSP Diplomate Beverly Jessup talks about CPSP with an APC conference attendee at the CPSP booth. As pastoral caregivers, one of major tasks is "ministry of presence." That is exactly what we are doing at APC. The value of our presence here cannot be measured.
