Clinical Pastoral Education Curriculum

Clergy, while well trained and skilled in one-to-one conversation about many difficult medical situations, often lack the background and experience to enter discussion about reproductive health. Spiritual Dimensions of Reproductive Health Decisions, a site-tested workshop for clergy of all denominations, seeks to establish a more open dialogue with women on this challenging topic. The session addresses legal, demographic, social and spiritual dimensions of reproductive health decisions, without trying to impose or refute any particular faith teaching. It covers chaplaincy codes of conduct, faith statements about abortion, adoption, minor’s rights and parental involvement, and emotional and spiritual reactions to abortion.
