  4. Supervised Pastoral Education (SPE) is an experience-based approach to learning ministry, which combines pastoral care with qualified supervision and group reflection. The program is open to clergy, theology students and lay persons with theology training. It aims to assist persons in achieving their full potential for ministry. Programs are offered at facilities throughout Canada, including general and psychiatric hospitals, correctional centres and a variety of other locations. Each centre is connected to a theological college. Teaching supervisors are certified by the The Canadian Association for Spiritual Care.

  5. SPE is normally in an inter-disciplinary context where the insights of other professions promote creative dialogue and where co-operation is encouraged with other workers and agencies serving the community.

  6. What are the essentials of a SPE Program? • Pastoral ministry with others who may or may not be in a crisis situation. The frequency and intensity of visits depends on factors unique to each situation. • Reflective consideration of pastoral encounters facilitated by reports (written or taped), role playing, seminars, and discussion with peers and a supervisor.

  7. This reflective process considers the dynamics of the one being ministered to as well as the one ministering from theological, psychological, and sociological perspectives. • A group process in which SPE students and their supervisor share and learn together. • Individual supervision for each student with their supervisor.

  8. An opportunity to acquire relevant theoretical information through an educational process including directed reading. Clinical seminars are integrated with the education.
