New York Theological Seminary Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) WHAT IS CLINICAL PASTORAL EDUCATION? Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) is theological and professional education for ministry. It brings theological students, ordained clergy, members of religious orders and qualified laypeople into supervised encounter with persons in various clinical settings. Out of an intense involvement with persons in need, and the feedback from peers and supervisors, trainees develop new awareness of themselves as persons and of the needs of those to whom they minister. From theological reflection on specific human situations, they gain a new understanding of ministry. Within the interdisciplinary team process of helping persons, they develop skills in interpersonal and inter-professional relationships. CPE AT NEW YORK THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY New York Theological Seminary has long been recognized for its innovative programs, its pioneering spirit, and its commitment to training women and men for ministry in the real world. NYTS is a diverse and inclusive community of learning with a historic urban focus. In this diverse and inclusive community of learning along with various clinical settings, NYTS provides Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) programs for Levels 1 and 2. Our CPE programs are intended to meet the needs of clergy in active ministry, seminary students and selected laypersons who wish to: Enhance their sense of pastoral identity Develop their capacity for theological reflection Improve their pastoral ministry skills Deepen their own spirituality CPE at NYTS provides a range of ministry training experiences for trainees. Some of the training focus on short term and crisis intervention, while others allow the trainees to develop ongoing relationships with patients, families and staff.

The curriculum covers the basic theological disciplines of Biblical, historical, theological and practical studies, and many of the classes are taught by graduates of NYTS degree programs.

The Certificate Program in Christian Leadership and Ministry welcomes applications from women and men who possess a high school diploma or its equivalent, who seek to increase in both biblical literacy and spiritual understanding, and who desire to be better prepared for ministry.

NYTS also collaborates with specific communions or communities to offer basic theological education at the Certificate level for specialized areas of concentration. These cohorts depend on the number of students able to form a specialized cohort group, and are not available every year. The areas of further specialized concentration are as follows: Certificate Program in Convergence Studies The Convergence Movement brings together catholic, evangelical, and pentecostal or charismatic streams of Christian tradition in a dynamic movement for renewal in both liturgy and service. The movement has spawned a number of institutional networks over the past several decades, with a wide range of theological voices in leadership. One of these networks is the Diocese of Christ the King, with its headquarters in Rochester, New York. Through a close collaboration, the Diocese of Christ the King and NYTS offer an Institute for Convergence Studies that provides theological education for convergence leadership in online and intensive face-to-face formats. Certificate Program in Radical Inclusion Radical Inclusion is the intentional inclusion of all persons in leadership and in the wider life of the faith community, especially people who have traditionally lived at the margins of society, such as people suffering from substance abuse, people living with HIV/AIDS, same-gender loving people, and trans-gendered people. The Fellowship of Affirming Ministries (TFAM) is an international network of radically inclusive communities representing multiple denominational backgrounds and under predominantly African American and Latino/a leadership. Churches in the Fellowship embrace and promote a theology of radical inclusivity which, by its very nature, requires an equally radical social ministry reaching to the furthest margins of society to serve all in need without prejudice or discrimination. Through a close collaboration TFAM and NYTS offer an Institute in Inclusive Ministries with offers online and in intensive face-to-face formats. Certificate Program in Islamic Studies The Certificate in Islamic Studies is a 2-year program designed to provide a comprehensive view of the Islamic faith tradition from the perspective of moderate Muslims living in contemporary urban society practicing inclusive forms of Islam. The program explores the spiritual, moral, and ethical principles of Islam which are also inherent in the Jewish and Christian faith traditions. While designed primarily for Islamic religious leaders, it is open to persons of every faith tradition who wish to learn more about Islam, and who wish to participate more effectively in urban ministry in a multifaith context. NYTS collaborates closely with The House of Peace in offering this certificate.
