We communed at the 2023 ACPE Annual Conference after years of COVID keeping us at a distance. Despite all the excitement, deep sorrow and pain pervaded our time together. This year we made significant changes to our learning outcomes, evaluated Certification, and wondered about the future of ACPE. The grief many of us felt at the conference is a heavy burden affecting our ability to connect with others and see beyond our experiences. When working to become an anti-bias organization, grief can dim our vision and makes it difficult to recognize, trust, and learn from the authentic experiences of others. |

“Let the little children come to me, and do not stop them….” Luke 18:16, NRSV
This world can steal the joy and delight that we are born with as children. Our faith in the goodness of humankind can be readily stripped away from us. I have always been drawn to little children and elders. In many ways they are similar; they are dependent on us to care for and protect them. They teach us to enjoy life, to remain curious and open, to see what sometimes is hidden.

Every day I walk into the hospital as a chaplain resident, I show up as a visibly queer person in ministry. Whether the patients, families, and staff are aware or not, it’s important for me to show up authentically as myself. I have complicated feelings about how corporations celebrate Pride Month, because I believe queer celebration must always be rooted in resistance. One way of resisting oppression is by focusing on how queer people are a delight and joy. Our existence does not always have to be centered on the very real pain that we’ve experienced. We can center delight in being our true selves as an act of care, spiritually and otherwise. |
