CPSP Plenary
Dr. Bob and Diplomate Celia Munson were able to attend the CPSP Plenary gathering, held in Atlanta, Georgia, March 17-20. They were able to give a presentation at the gathering, ” The History of the Clinical Pastoral Movement in the Philippines.” It was well received and the event was a valuable time of learning and building relationships.

As our name implies, we are a daughter organization of CPSP (College of Pastoral Supervision and Psychotherapy). Here are a couple of bits of news of CPSP.
#1. CPSP will be holding its annual plenary March 17-21, 2024. It will be held in Atlanta, GA, and representatives of CPSP-PH will be there, and have been asked to give a report at the event.
#2. CPSP has recently joined in a collaborative initiative between itself and Health Care Chaplaincy Network/Spiritual Care Association (HCCN/SCA). They are exploring ways to collaborate for the good of clinical pastoral training and clinical chaplaincy. (In recent months, we have been in conversation with AACPE, the first CPE/T organization in the Philippines. We also hope to find ways to collaborate in a similar manner in the Philippines.)
#3. CPSP now has a couple of improved ways to communicate with its members and others. One is their updated website (https://cpsp.life/). The other is their new electronic journal “Recovery of Soul.” It has not come out yet, but information on it is available at: https://cpsp.life/invitation-to-contribute-to-cpsps-recovery-of-soul-digital-magazine/
