Clinical Pastoral Orientation

Clinical Pastoral Orientation (CPO) is a program designed for laypersons or ministers who don’t have time for CPE. It can also be done to get a taste for CPE. Additionally, it is set up to work more comfortably into a the normal (semester or quarter) schedule of a bible school or seminary.

In January, the BOT of CPSP-Philippines agreed to add CPO to the certification and accreditation standards. While this is still in progress, the following document provides  some insight into the standards being proposed.

CPO is presently being done at Zamboanga Peninsula Medical Center, and Bukal Life Care in Baguio City will have one starting on June 19.

Pastoral Care Conference

April 24-25, 2017, we held a great conference on the grounds of Philippine Baptist Theological Seminary (PBTS). The conference was a partnership between CPSP-Philippines, CPSP, PBTS, and Bukal Life Care. This was the “2nd Dayot and Dickens Pastoral Care Conference.”

The main speaker is Dr. Doug Dickens, a CPSP-certified Diplomate Supervisor of Clinical Pastoral Education/Training. He has mentoring relationship with CPSP-Philippines. The topic was “The Beatitudes: Diagnosis and Healing from the Inside Out.” The topic looks at the Beatitudes as a form of pastoral diagnosis… not in terms of pathology, but in terms of holistic wellness. With 220 participants, we had a wonderful time, and look forward more gatherings like this in the future.
