Argues that a geriatric facility offers critical and central experiences in the learning of pastoral care and in the formation of pastoral identities, thus providing an excellent setting for a basic Clinical Pastoral Education unit. Supports this perspective in terms of the character of the context and the impact of that character on CPE students, particularly regarding initiative required, the many opportunities offered for reflection, and the challenge of dealing with discouragement and despair.

Describes how a Clinical Pastoral Education group carried out a project focusing on theological reflection with a key goal of having some fun in the process. Concludes from the experience that such a group can achieve heightened sensitivity to theological and faith issues in other pastoral encounters, the discovery of options for future pastoral care situations or persons, assisting in integrating theological reflection into personal spiritual development, and encouraging development of a range of self-supervision possibilities.

This article describes how cultures and pastoral care education processes can be barriers between the patient, the pastoral caregiver, and the Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) student. By providing sketches of interviews with Chinese patients, the author tries to explain why the attempt to unveil Chinese patients' feelings and needs through conversation can be a frustrating experience. Moreover, the author argues that the pedagogy of pastoral care education ought to be more culturally sensitive in regard to the diverse cultural backgrounds of both patients and CPE students.

Describes an alternative Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) program rooted in an urban environment. Details the eight goals of the program and argues that traditional CPE can be enhanced by adding the foci of cross-cultural experiences, community-based work, and social analysis. Concludes that such a program addresses many of the contemporary issues of “soul and city.”
