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."
=====================================
Today, Wednesday, March 13, the APC conference officially ends. All-in-all it has been a good conference with what I believe to be a lot of good will gained for CPSP.
Earlier at the "Dialogue with the Board," (of APC) someone asked how the relationship between APC and CPSP is progressing. Mary Whetstone, APC President, reported that she had met with Jim Gebhart, CPSP President, and myself in Columbus this year, along with Ted Lindquist, APC Certification Chair, by conference call. She said that the dialogue is continuing and things are in process.
I also reported that CPSP had adopted the Common Standards of the Spiritual Care Collaborative this last year, with the caveat we be added to the list. In addition, Mary told me personally that the APC Board will consider our membership in the SCC this coming Thursday, March 14. She said she has every hope that APC will concur with our membership in the SCC.
Mary is attending our 2008 Plenary in Little Rock. She says she hope to bring us good news. The picture is of Mary Whetstone and myself at the APC conference.
See you all in Little Rock at the end of the month! Ya'll come! Ya hear?
