The College of Pastoral Supervision & Psychotherapy is a theologically based covenant community, dedicated to "recovery of the soul" and promoting competency in the clinical pastoral field.

The PR ran across the Little Rock, AR Chapter Blog that is published by George Hull. The blog stimulated a couple of thoughts.
First, the latest post on the blog is a notice about the Free Medical Clinic that will be held in that community November 21, 2009 with the request for volunteers to serve the thousands who will attend the free medical clinic because they have no or inadequate health care. Most who will attend this free clinic are the working poor. It is estimated that 45,000 people will die within a year as a direct result of their not being able to afford health care. It's a national and moral and tragedy that this situation exist.
The post also suggests that the Little Rock Chapter understands that as a group it is grounded in their geographical community with a commitment to serve that community as a part of its mission. CPSP at its best is about ministry and service to those who are in need. One of my wishes is that all CPSP Chapters take a look around to see how their Chapter might respond to human need beyond the boundaries of its clinical training programs and service institutions represented by its Chapter members.
Finally, I was impressed by the fact that the Little Rock CPSP Chapter has an active blog that provides important information about CPSP as well as the clinical pastoral field. In this linked world, there is the necessity for all CPSP Chapters to have a website to help promote the vital CPSP mission of "...Recovery of Soul in the Clinical Pastoral Movement..."
