An adaptation of The Discipline in a clinical pastoral education program. Interview by Larry VandeCreek.
The author describes his perspective on providing pastoral care to hospital patients, his search for new ways to understand that ministry, his first contact with The Discipline, and his adaptation of it to the clinical and educational programs at his center. He discusses the need to help clinical pastoral education students to operationalize their ministry and to learn how to identify outcomes that are meaningful to health care decision makers.
