CPSP in The News: Chaplain Jody Smith, CPE Resident & Raymond Lawrence, CPSP General Secretary
The Deseret News published an article on 7/29/2010 featuring the Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) graduation service held at the George E. Wahlen Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Salt Lake City, UT.
Eighteen trainees graduated from the VA's accredited College of Pastoral Supervision and Psychotherapy's CPE training program directed by CPSP Diplomate, Mark Allison.
One of the CPE graduates, Chaplain Jody Smith was quoted:
It is an amazing journey," Smith said. "It will bring you both closer to God as well as help you develop awareness of what our veterans have done for us, and the journey our patients go through, and recognizing that spirituality is an inherent component of that healing equation.
Raymond Lawrence, CPSP General Secretary, was in attendance and is featured in a photo where he received an American Indian blessing during the Chaplain Graduation Ceremony at the VA Medical Center.
A number of photos of the graduation service can be found on the right side-bar Gallery under Dr. Lawrence's photo.
