Presenter: Rev. Ken Blank, CPSP Diplomate, ACPE Supervisor,Executive Director,

CPSP. Recipient: Professional Service Award, Association of Professional Chaplains.
Description: One of the primary goals of medicine is to alleviate or eliminate
suffering for hospitalized patients. And it is not unusual to have Certified Chaplains
join in this admirable effort, even if it means we make the burden “a little lighter” by
sharing it with the patient. But what if there is no suffering in the hospital? Would this change our theology of pastoral care? Would this have an impact on our style of ministry as Chaplains and pastors? Come and find out in this challenging and provocative seminar!
Workshop III – 1:00 to 2:45 p.m. Sunday, March 30 – “Chapter Life Workshop”
Presenter: Perry Miller, Chair of the Chapter Life Committee of CPSP.
Description: There will be an open forum, a time for the group to share vignettes of

presentation of new Conveners Manual. In addition, part of the workshop will be
devoted to helping Chapters access competence.
