The Death of Malcolm Ballinger
The PR has learned that Malcolm Ballinger, a member of the Ohio Valley Chapter since its founding in 1992, died in early November. A service in celebration of his life was held in Indianapolis on Friday, November 17, 2006.
On the Ohio Valley Chapter web site, there is an article written by Malcolm, detailing his interest and participation in the Pastoral movement beginning in 1935. He writes:
"My interest in pastoral psychology began with my first clinical pastoral training under the supervision of Carroll A. Wise when I was a student at Boston University School of Theology. Dr. Wise was at that time (1935) chaplain supervisor at Worcester State Hospital, where he had succeeded Dr. Anton Boisen. This clinical training experience was the most important thing that had happened up to that point in my theological education, and I wanted to get more of it."
