Fall Report 2010 

As this year comes to an end, I am pleased to report the Region is alive and well. 

Two years ago we had many Centers looking at severe reductions or closure. Several 

of our colleagues lost their positions or had their programs reduced. With the 

involvement of our Supervisors, the Council and Committees, we have turned the 

corner. 

Nearly all the proposed reductions were averted. Many of the Supervisors affected 

by reductions have found new positions or are building creative programs. The 

Committee Chairs and their representatives worked closely with the sites to reframe 

their thinking, locate new staff and add training positions. This year we had 

all the people appearing before the Certification Committee granted their request. 

Six people were named Associate Supervisor or CPE Supervisor. Five Centers that 

were ―on hold‖ or closed have reopened and are functioning stronger than ever. 

Several other Centers who lost positions had them restored and at least four Centers 

have added Supervisory positions and/or residency slots. 

Along with this support of Centers and Supervisors, the Phoenix Project took on a 

whole new life. We are now planning an expanded webpage, interactive on-line teleconferencing, 

shared educational materials, templates for accreditation materials, 

and greater resourcing of our Centers and Supervisors. The planning is well underway 

for 2011 to be the year we begin implementing this project. While it will take 

much effort from all of us, I am confident this will bolster our educational work and 

strengthen our offerings to students. There will be opportunities for all of you to 

be involved in creating these new support structures. Look for the announcements 

from our Leadership.

Musings 

Finally we have to give significant credit for our advancement to the Centers who 

support our programs. Without administrative support and Center commitment, 

we would not be able to do any of the things we have done. The institutions give 

considerable financial, personal, and administrative support that makes what we do 

possible. I hope you all take the time to thank the leadership at your institution for 

their consist and considerable support of CPE. They deserve it. 

Thanks to Kelli Shepard and our Council/Committees for 

their leadership. And thank you to all of you who daily offer 

care and education in the places you labor. It’s our faithful 

commitment to this work that keeps us growing and building 

new programs and services for tomorrow. 2011 promises 

to be better than 2010. We have come through a difficult 

time much stronger than we were and clearer in our 

vision. That will hold us in good stead in the next year. 

Blessings as we enter a new year. 

Aloha, John Moody, Regional Director

Treasurer’s Report by Carrie Bucker 

I am happy to report that our Region remains in a very healthy place, 

fiscally speaking! I will bring details of our 2010 profit and loss statements 

to the Regional Council in February. Our revenue and expenses 

remain on target, and our Regional Director has been effectively 

managing our operational budget and working hard to negotiate good 

prices on hotels and other expenses related to our regional meetings. 

As you know, preparations are underway as we host the ACPE Annual 

Conference in Salt Lake City in April 2011. Thanks to John Moody, 

our Regional Director, and our support staff at the regional office for 

their hard work and diligence to keep us on track financially! Thanks 

to all of you who make sure your fees are paid in a timely manner. As 

always, please contact me if you have any questions or concerns at 

Bucknec2@sutterhealth.org or 510-204-6731. I look forward to 

hearing from you! 

Jim Corrigan & David Myler Recognized 

These two leaders of ACPE were honored by the Region for helping 

found the GLBT Network thereby creating a place for many in our 

Association. Several people stood to share how helpful their 

courageous leadership was for them.

Certification Chat 

Rod Seeger 

Certification Chair 

2010 was a hallmark year for our committee. 100% of the requests that 

were made by people requesting Candidacy, Extension or CPE Supervisor 

were granted. The committee worked hard and so did the people 

who presented themselves for certification. Keep up the good 

work out there! When you do what I call "your homework" before 

coming to the committee your requests usually are granted! 

At the national level, four of the six people who requested certification 

were certified! We now have three new Associates and one new ACPE 

Supervisor. (Their names are elsewhere in the Regional News.) 

Our committee is also in flux. John Gillman, who has served for six 

years will rotate off having completed two terms. Sat Kartar Khalsa- 

Ramey will rotate off after serving three years. Wayne Bell will also 

rotate off after completing his term with the committee. We welcome 

aboard Bill Hawkins, Amy Furth, Charles Burger and Garrett Starmer. 

Changes have occurred with the 2010 Standards for what is required 

for BOTH Readiness and Candidacy. It is important that you read 

thoroughly through the sections in the 2010 Certification Manual pertaining 

to these two areas. If you are supervising an 

SES it is also important for you as the CPE Supervisor 

to thoroughly read these sections. 

Finally, if you want to meet the Certification Committee 

in February, your Letter of Intent must be sent in 

December!

Symposium Group Canada Meeting Report 

Dagmar Grefe, Author 

(Not Pictured — Isn’t she thankful?!) 

Have you ever experienced a Canadian heat wave? In July of 2010 Pacific Region representatives participated together with 

Canadian educators in a learning symposium in the beautiful Comox Valley, Vancouver Island. John Moody (Regional 

Director), Birte Beuck (Certification), Earl Cooper (Accreditation), and Dagmar Grefe (Regional Council) joined the 

weeklong workshop in order to bring new ideas to the educational work of the ACPE Pacific Region. 

Aside from finding out that temperatures of 65° and a windy breeze (sounds hot, eh) make Canadians put on their 

tank-tops, shorts and sandals, we became familiar with “Assessment for Learning,” an educational philosophy based on a 

continuous partnership and dialogue between teachers and learners. The symposium was facilitated by educational scholars 

and administrators and consisted of a nice balance between lectures, work groups, and group presentations. 

It wasn’t the outside temperatures but our break-out sessions that made our heads spin. We spent many hours in our 

Pacific Region work group brainstorming, asking questions, and discussing, accompanied often by one of the facilitators who 

would offer helpful insights. We tried to translate the material we learned to the context of CPE. We were charged with the 

development of ideas and concrete steps that would address findings of the Phoenix group. 

The Phoenix group had formed in 2009 in response to some difficulties experienced by centers throughout the Pacific 

Region. A survey taken in the region culminated in a report that highlighted among other issues: 1. It takes too long to be 

certified as a ACPE Supervisor. 2. There are too many CPE supervisory vacancies that may lead to closure of centers. 3. In a 

difficult economy it is challenging to communicate the value of spiritual care and CPE as a basically non-reimbursable 

service. 

The main goal of the Canada work group was it to map out a project that would enhance and develop educational 

resources for the ACPE centers and members of the Pacific Region. We came away with a plan that was supported by the 

Regional Council and well received by regional members during the fall meeting in Alaska: 

To develop an electronic resource center that would allow CPE centers, supervisors and members to share their 

resources and expertise with each other. 

The electronic resource center will make available didactic presentations, theory papers, policies, CPE Handbooks 

etc. It will also allow us to use video conferencing to teach at each others’ centers, and engage in supervisory sessions 

bridging geographic distances. 

Three steps contribute to the development of the electronic resource center and are in process right now: 

1. Revamp the website and develop an infrastructure for sharing resources and videoconferencing 

2. Develop a curriculum/concrete criteria for the ACPE objectives and outcomes for level I, II, and 

supervisory CPE. 

3. Develop a process of receiving, peer reviewing, and posting resources. 

We estimate that in 2011 the website will be increasingly developed and populated with resources. Watch out for 

announcements and invitations to share your resources with us. During the Regional Meeting in the fall of 2011, educational 

faculty from Canada will join us and make their experience and expertise available to us. It’s going to be an engaging meeting. 

If 65° makes a Canadian heat wave, we’ll see what our guests will have to say about October weather in San Diego.

Report from Board of Directors Meeting 

Peter Yuichi Clark & Kelli Shepard 

Fall 2010 

The ACPE Board of Directors met from November 3 through November 

6, 2010, in Atlanta. Kelli attended the meeting at the request 

of the Region because Michele Shields had conflicts in her 

schedule. Here is a summary of the Board’s actions during that 

meeting: 

There was a lengthy discussion between the Board and the Personnel Committee about the implications 

of Teresa Snorton’s election as a bishop by the Christian Methodist Episcopal 

(CME) Church. The Personnel Committee stated that it has developed a 12 – 18 month 

plan with quarterly reviews to evaluate how her CME obligations will affect her ACPE work. 

The Personnel Committee was clear in saying that Teresa has used and will use her own accrued 

PTO time to travel to Africa, and that the ACPE policy on designated authority was 

activated when she left and will be activated whenever she is away. Teresa herself reported 

that the trip to Africa was a profound experience and that her duties as bishop thus far do 

not entail much ―on-the-ground‖ time in Africa because of the CME episcopal structure’s 

investment in on-site mission supervisors. 

The ACPE Board and members of the FCPE Board met for a productive day-long joint session, 

with three objectives: 

Objective 1: To find common ground on a new relationship between ACPE and FCPE. 

It was clarified that ACPE and FCPE are in a parent-subsidiary relationship, and that as 

long as the two entities treat assets separately and observe corporate formalities, there 

is no ―piercing of the corporate veil‖ and FCPE can continue to function as a legal shield 

of ACPE’s Endowment. ACPE can hire employees to do FCPE’s work as long as there is 

a written agreement between FCPE and ACPE, and as a 509(a)(1) FCPE can interact with 

other foundations in ways that ACPE as a non-profit organization does not have access. 

The ACPE Board committed to a capital campaign in Fall 2009; by this December, the 

FCPE’s Executive Director and her administrative assistant will both have left FCPE (and 

the FCPE office will move to Decatur); a site for a new building was purchased earlier 

this year; and by January 2011, the FCPE Board will have a majority of ACPE members. 

Objective 2: To clarify shared goals for a capital campaign. The Boards heard a proposal 

from the architectural firm of Lord Aeck & Sargent for a new building on the Decatur 

site that ACPE purchased. It would be LEED gold (i.e., a ―green‖ building) and a short 

walk from both a major hotel/conference center and from a MARTA train station in 

downtown Decatur, and it would provide much-needed additional workspace and technological 

upgrades for the ACPE national office. Conceptual drawings for the building 

were presented. The project is estimated to require $11M. 

Objective 3: To agree upon next steps and priorities. The two Boards then worked 

with two consultants from the Georgia Center for Nonprofits, who guided participants through


Page 8 

Report from ACPE Board of Director’s Meeting continued ... 

case statement. The case statement discussion 

led to the realization that ACPE’s 

strategic plan is due for reconsideration 

and updating. 

As a result of this work, the ACPE Board 

passed four motions related to the FCPE, develop-mint, 

strategic planning, and the capital 

campaign: 

Development Committee: The ACPE’s 

development committee will be placed into 

the function of the FCPE. 

Local Facility Committee: ACPE’s president, Sally Schwab, will appoint a committee to 

work with ACPE national office staff to assess and ensure that the current workspace is safe 

and facilitates staff members’ ability to serve the membership. 

Strategic Planning: While the FCPE’s Capital Campaign Committee works on a case statement, 

the Fund Development work group of the Board was re-purposed to focus on a strategic 

planning process (including a review of ACPE’s mission, vision, and values), with its results 

to be presented to the Board in January and then to be discussed at the town hall 

meeting during the Salt Lake City conference. 

Capital Campaign: On the principle of ―tithing,‖ the Board approved a motion that $1M be 

added to the $11M building capital campaign in order to fund the development and sustenance 

of community-based CPE programs. 

Because of the decision to relocate the FCPE offices to Decatur and the subsequent departure of 

FCPE’s office staff, the ACPE Board approved hiring a 0.5 FTE administrative assistant to maintain 

FCPE’s database and office management during the staff transition, up to $30K and 6 

months. In addition, the Board authorized the Personnel Committee to conduct strategic planning 

in regard to staffing for ACPE and FCPE and to report its findings at the Salt Lake City 

meeting. 

The ACPE Board worked with the governance proposal study document at great length, with much 

attention given to the feedback received from all regions. The feedback from other regions 

matched the Pacific Region’s in many respects, and Board members unanimously agreed that the 

proposal needed further study and revision. The Board noted several affirmations and several 

areas of little or no consensus: 

Affirmations: that the work group had made substantive efforts in bringing forth the proposal; 

that there is a need for change in order to increase business efficiency and decrease 

costs; that there is a need for diversity; that there must be further dialogue with regional 

membership; that there is value in the regional structure; and that any proposal must be explicit 

in stating its projected financial implications. 

Areas of Low Consensus: that the mission, vision, and values must be considered and integrated 

into a revised strategic plan; that the role, function, and budget of the Leader-ship 

Council and its relationship with the Board must be made clearer; and that the Board’s


Page 9 

Report from ACPE Board of Director’s Meeting continued ... 

The Board voted to send the following motion to the ACPE membership for approval at the Salt 

Lake City meeting: That the ACPE suspend Article V of its by-laws so that the number of regional 

representatives would be reduced from 2 per region to 1 per region, effective with the Fall 

2011 meeting, until a new governance structure is in place. In order to cover the costs associated 

with convening the current-size Board meeting in Salt Lake City, the Board approved a motion 

that Board members would be invited to contribute their travel expenses as a charitable gift; 

that the Finance Committee and Regional Directors would consult to see if moneys can be designated; 

that the national office would seek other funding; and that, as a last resort, a grant be 

made from the Endowment. 

The Board directed our representatives to the Spiritual Care Collaborative (SCC) to ask the Association 

of Professional Chaplains to reconsider its recent decision to withdraw from the SCC. 

Three ACPE representatives (Teresa Snorton, Sally Schwab, and Tim Thorstenson) will participate in 

a formal mediation process with the College of Pastoral Supervision and Psychotherapy on November 

30, 2010. Because it is a confidential legal proceeding, few details can be given at this 

time. A statement will be issued following the mediation meeting. 

The Board authorized $2K in support, along with advising and endorsement, of a proposed 13- 

episode PBS television series about chaplains. The director of the project is Martin Doblmeier, 

whose Journey Films produced Bonhoeffer and The Power of Forgiveness. Board members were 

given copies of the latter film so as to view the quality of the work that would be done on the 

project. 

The Board voted to award the Distinguished Service Award to Harlan Ratmeyer from the Eastern 

Region. In addition, the Board will select nine persons—one from each region—as an Emerging 

Leader in ACPE, to be recognized in Salt Lake City. Our Regional Council nominated Kelli for 

this award. 

The ACPE Board approved a request by Norwegian Clinical Pastoral Education and the Norwegian 

Association of Clergy to be recognized in a 

mutually reciprocal relationship, akin to the 

relationship ACPE enjoys with NACC and 

CAPPE. Since the Board anticipates that 

other organizations will seek similar status, 

Peter and his colleagues on the Multicultural 

and International Learning work group of 

the Board will draft a review protocol for 

inclusion in the ACPE Governance Manual. 

There was a robust and healthy exchange between 

the ACPE Board and REM members 

related to the Board’s suggestion that REM 

be involved in planning the national conference 

every other year (REM is co-planning 

the 2012 meeting, but REM members expressed reluctance about the additional years). Following 

that dialogue, the Board voted to authorize the National Conference Committee to proceed 

with its planning for the 2013 meeting, with a commitment by the Board to continue its conversation 

with REM in the future. 

Thank you for the privilege of representing the Pacific Region to the ACPE Board of Directors.

Accreditation 

2010 saw many changes in the way accreditation was 

done. The new national Site Team Chairs program 

was started. It moves accreditation outside the Region 

and brings a broader, national perspective. The Regional 

Committee continues to serve with an ever increasing 

work load. The joy of doing accreditation is 

always visiting Centers and discovering the uniqueness 

of our Regional programs. 

Pictured is John Gillman, Jim Corrigan and Kathy

California—San Francisco.

What I Learned from Meeting with the Certification Commission 

(and Preparing for my Associate Appearance, November 2010) 

Rev. Susan Conrad 

With thanks to Rev. Dr. Peter Yuichi Clark for the inspiration 

Take the time and space to prepare physically and affectively, as well as cognitively, for your appearance. Do you need 

a massage? A soak in the Jacuzzi? To dialogue with your fear or anger? Do all of these several times over? Do as 

much as you can to care for yourself so you can show up as comfortable as possible in your own skin. 

The best preparation is consistently rigorous training, which includes consulting as much as possible. Who are the 

supervisors in your region who seem the scariest to you? Go and consult with them so that you can confront your 

fear and move through it. 

Integrate your spiritual life and practice into your preparation as much as possible: set up an altar, call on your ancestors, 

gather your community, whatever you need to do. 

Meeting a committee successfully involves being in touch with the “big picture” of your process and your supervision 

as well as the details. Are you a detail person? Find ways to remind yourself of the big picture and how the 

details relate. Are you a big picture person? Make sure you have specific examples of your supervision to draw 

on, that you can remember. (It’s a good idea to do this no matter what!) 

When reviewing your presenter’s report, reflect on how themes and questions relate to one another, and to your 

theory and practice. Dialogue works best when it flows, and the committee will want to see you making these 

connections. 

When preparing, reflect on how you can bring your unique personhood as a supervisor into the room in the here 

and now, and give your committee an experience of what it’s like to be supervised by you – take a risk and show 

them your creativity! Pastoral education is an art. 

After you’ve prepared, make a choice to show up and claim your power and your competence, while respecting 

the committee’s power and competence. Act like the colleague you are! 

Remember the 3 sentence rule. Leave space for dialogue, and choose to bring your curiosity into the room with 

you. 

Your excitement and passion for your calling can’t substitute for competency and preparation. But if you are 

competent enough and prepared enough, allowing your excitement and passion to shine through will be infectious. 

Find ways to connect to your passion for this work as you prepare. 

Stay open to learning in the moment. You will learn something valuable about yourself and your process no matter 

the outcome. 

Once you’ve submitted your written materials, don’t obsess about them (thank you, Blake Arnall!). How you show 

up with the committee is even more important. 

Know yourself, know your supervision, and know your theory. 

As you prepare, find ways to open your heart to your process, to others around you, and to your committee members. 

CPE is fundamentally about relationship. Invest in your relationship with each of your committee members before 

you meet with them by learning a little about them, praying for them, imagining what it’s like to be in their 

shoes, and how you want to relate to them. 

Finally… if you’re prepared, you’ve earned it. Now go claim it! 

Blessings on your journey.

Lessons I learned from meeting with the Certification Commission 

Peter Yuichi Clark • November 9, 2003 

Line up your support network of persons who can offer prayers, meditations, and good 

intentions on your behalf. Invite others to invest with you in your process. Build a shrine or 

prayer space to help you focus your own spiritual life. 

When you receive the presenter’s report, make of copy of the report (you will need the 

original for the next time you meet a committee) so that you can write all over it. Look for 

themes that emerge in the questions asked. Categorize the questions by comparing them 

with the competencies listed in the ACPE Standards. Choose one question that represents 

each competency and make sure that those questions are addressed during the interview 

appearance. 

Consult, consult, consult—make sure that someone walks with you through the 

presenter’s report, to help you to hear the questions clearly and with as little projection as 

possible. 

When you begin your meeting with the committee, remember to thank the presenter and 

committee members. They have already invested a lot of time and energy in you before 

you step into the room. 

Let the members know how you feel. It’s all right to be nervous and say so. 

Find the most important question or theme in the report and start there. 

It’s up to you to ensure that all of the competencies are demonstrated. The committee 

members will help you, but you are ultimately responsible. Taking initiative with the 

committee is crucial. 

Example, example, example is more important than theory, theory, theory. Be sure to “work 

the cycle”, anytime a question is asked, given an example from your student work, talk about 

your feelings and dynamics, connect it to your theory, and talk about what (if anything) you 

would do differently now. 

(9) Trust the process and the Commissioners. If you can see them as colleagues who want 

to engage you in dialogue, rather than judging parental adversaries, you will be more likely 

to have faithful conversation. 

Although having one’s request denied is a heavy loss. “failure” can also be a gift. 

If you don’t pass, call your committee members for advice. Ask for their feedback and 

re-establish dialogue with them. 

(12) Hope and a strong sense of vocation are essential to surviving this process.

Electronic Reimbursements 

The Region has the capability of doing electronic reimbursements for CPE 

Supervisors, Associate Supervisors and community volunteers serving on 

committees. On the webpage is a form to be completed and returned to 

the office. The information is kept confidential and only used to establish 

your account number. Once we have this information, we can process all 

your expense vouchers in this fashion. This could save 10-15 days in you 

receiving your payment because we do not have to depend on snail mail.
