CPE

So I am in my second month of CPE (Clinical Pastoral Education) and I love it. Don't get me wrong, my job is hard and the situations that I enter in are often devastating. But I find great meaning in what I do. The hospital has been a great context to integrate my theology and practice. I get to interact with people of all cultures, ages, religions, races, socio-economic status, and education and learn so much from them. I watch myself fumble in many of these situations, but I am learning so much. I have great peers to work with and a wonderful supervisor who guides us along the way. I am so grateful for this opportunity.
