For new comers, Clinical Pastoral Integration is a miniature CPE (Clinical Pastoral Education). It is CPE in smaller units. This course will adapt the “Action-Reflection-Action” learning method from Clinical Pastoral Education. Furthermore, through the “Inter-Personal Relationship” seminar and group life, trainees can learn to integrate their pastoral care and counselling theories and practices. It is to enhance their relationships with God and other people, growth in spiritual maturity, insights, and sensitivity in their pastoral care ministries. CPE normally runs full-time in residence with hospitals, and for some, they have to take leave from ministry to do a 3 months full-time training in CPE in another country. But with CPI you can have the benefits of CPE from home. Pending satisfactory assessment, the completion of 4 courses of CPI may be equivalent to 1 unit of CPE (Clinical Pastoral Education).
