Your first six months have been very intense and active! Thank you for keeping the issues around ordination clear. Now if we can get similar clarity around credentials. I had the same experience as a "first-time delegate" to a GC session; I suspect that may be the case for numbers of persons who come to work at the GC level of the denomination. Any chance I can receive the renewed emeritus credential that expired in 2020, so I can continue chaplaincy ministry here in Ohio with the support of the denomination in the eyes of the public agencies.
The benefits of CPE to the denomination merits investment of GC budget into the program as seed monty to send qualified CPE Educators abroad to train local trainers in the division. I recall PRESAXD all nodding / voting consent to establish CPE training centers in six divisions (including NAD); Unfortuately, after that action, treasury would not increase the budget to implement any start. The good idea withered on the vine for awhile while attention focused on the up-coming 2015 GC Session and other changes. Which CPE is being tracked? ACPE, or CPSP?
Be careful for the GC ACM not to get in the weeds of doing endorsements; that is a division or delegated role to a union or conference as determined by national boundaries. The GC role is as outlined to provide oversight for the ecclesiastical endorsement process to insure the denomination is holding to a uniform standard.
It sounds like the GC ACM Directorate requires the help of a certified CPE Educator / Instructor / Trainer as part of the team. As strong a Moses you may be, as a "father-in-law" Jethro, you need help and need to delegate some of the work. ACM and ACI will continue to grow and become too large to manage by one or two persons. This trend is not unique to Adventists. Chaplaincies are growing as a preferred expression of ministry across many long-standing denominations.
Wonderful report!
This conversation's sould is much improved. I can hear CH Omana clearly without straining. Thank you for making that possible.
