On behalf of the ACPE International Relations Committee
Conference Theme: “Truth and Reconciliation: Pastoral Caregiving Within the Process of Radical Socio-Political Transformation, Change and Conflict”
In 2015, the ICPCC Congress met in San Francisco in conjunction with the ACPE annual meeting. This amazing group of international chaplains, theologians, and educators comes together every four years for learning and collaboration with one another. As ACPE is growing toward a more global awareness of international partners and learning from spiritual care and CPE models outside of N. America, conferences such as this Congress provide opportunities for us to build relationships, learn and expand our perspectives. Hope you will consider attending!

By Susan Liguori, ACPE Certified Educator
Introduction
I was fortunate to be invited by ACPE CE colleague Michael Hertz to lead a summer unit of clinical pastoral education for Royal Perth Hospital in Perth, Western Australia. My husband enthusiastically agreed to come along. We didn’t know what to expect, but we expected to have the time of our lives. And we did!
The CPE students and I formed an international group hailing from Zimbabwe, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Sri Lanka, and Australia. We marveled that this group had gathered with an educator from halfway around the world. We acknowledged during Orientation that something greater than ourselves had gathered us together. We suspected we knew Who and were intrigued to discover why. It’s the “why” that I’d like to share in this reflection.
