Mary Johnston Hospital, a United Methodist health facility in the Philippines, will serve as the first accredited and certified Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) center outside of the U.S., thanks to a proposal approved by the GBGM and GBHEM boards of directors at their recent meeting. 🎉

In collaboration with the Center for Integrative Pastoral Practice, a former GBHEM program now administered by the Methodist Theological School in Ohio, Mary Johnston Hospital's CPE program will equip future chaplains, spiritual care providers, and pastoral counselors with the education and training they need for ministry.
