““The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it? I, the Lord, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings. “As a partridge that broods but does not hatch, So is he who gets riches, but not by right; It will leave him in the midst of his days, And at his end he will be a fool.” A glorious high throne from the beginning Is the place of our sanctuary. O Lord, the hope of Israel, All who forsake You shall be ashamed. “Those who depart from Me Shall be written in the earth, Because they have forsaken the Lord, The fountain of living waters.””
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭17‬:‭9‬-‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Join us for our June Chaplains Town Hall featuring Dr. Jim Browning, Director and Board Chairman of the Marsh Institute for Chaplains and the Chaplain Resource Network.

Dr. Browning will be sharing on:

Ethical Boundaries in Spiritual Care: Safety and Compassion

As chaplains, we are often invited into some of life’s most vulnerable moments. This conversation will help us reflect on how compassion, clarity, safety, consent, and accountability work together in spiritual care.

Many CPE students know Dr. Browning through The Heart of a Chaplain, and we look forward to hearing directly from him.

Dear Chaplains,

"Whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for Me."
Matthew 25:45

Faith is more than what we believe. It is how we live.

We need fewer words and more kindness.
Less judgment and more grace.
Less repetition of creed and more compassion.
Less power and more pity.
Less talking about Christ and more living like Him.

Remember, the true measure of our faith is not found in what we say on Sunday, but in how we love, serve, and care for others throughout the week.

Every act of mercy matters.
Every moment of compassion counts.
Every person we encounter is an opportunity to reflect the heart of Christ.

May our faith not simply be heard, but seen.

Prayer

Lord, open our eyes to see people as You see them. Give us hearts that are quick to show mercy, hands that are ready to serve, and faith that is lived out through love. May our words be kind, our actions compassionate, and our lives reflect the heart of Christ. Amen.

“How beautiful upon the mountains Are the feet of him who brings good news, Who proclaims peace, Who brings glad tidings of good things, Who proclaims salvation, Who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!” Your watchmen shall lift up their voices, With their voices they shall sing together; For they shall see eye to eye When the Lord brings back Zion. Break forth into joy, sing together, You waste places of Jerusalem! For the Lord has comforted His people, He has redeemed Jerusalem. The Lord has made bare His holy arm In the eyes of all the nations; And all the ends of the earth shall see The salvation of our God.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭52‬:‭7‬-‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion. Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭14‬-‭18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
