The summer is often a time when things get somewhat “put on hold,” to some extent or anoth-
er. Not so with the Pacific Region. We are in busy with preparations for our Annual Meeting
in October and there our Committees and task groups are busy readying for their assigned
responsibilities. I’d like to highlight a few important elements that will be important for our
time together as a Region.
The first is our Governance change. You recently were sent, by email, a letter and revised
Governance Manual, for your information—that met the requirement of a 60 day advance
notice. Among some smaller changes is the most important. A task group, chaired by Karen
Schnell, brought to the Regional Council a proposal that we limit the term of the Chair to a total of four years ra-
ther than six. My letter to you in the email sets out the rationale. I refer you to it for more specifics. While this
may seem rather pedestrian, the point I would like to leave with any of you who have considered nomination to the
office of Chair of the region, that this gives you an opportunity. I would encourage you to bring your name forth in
the nominating convention that will take place during this meeting. Secondly, my term as chair elect and chair have
been a blessing—I have learned about our region from a unique persective and gotten to know our Region and un-
derstand our regional and national “debate” from a totally different perspective. As these next months fly by, I urge
you to consider putting your name into nomination.
The second event of our proposed annual meeting schedule is a report from the Learning Network. They have, lead
by Stina Miller, have produced a draft “Core Curriculum” that I believe will help our programs and lead us into the
future—that are wide enough for the diverse contexts in which we provide CPE in our Region. They are based origi-
nally on the Common Standards (Competencies) for Chaplaincy established by the APC but are generalized so that
any of our programs can design/adapt curriculum components to met each curricular element. I look forward to
their presentation.
Finally, our Development Committee is going to take us through a World Café experience. Their goals are to Iden-
tifying potential student consumers of ACPE and their needs, generating strategic development ideas that could
lead to creative program changes or innovative pilot projects, Developing criteria by which the Development Com-
mittee could assess funding requests, Experimenting
with a particular methodology of generating ideas and
knowledge circulating in the corporate world, the World
Café, to discover to what extent this methodology is use-
ful for our region and organization
I look forward to seeing you at the Annual Meeting.
Blessing to you as you enjoy this summer and hopefully,
some time of rest and relaxation.

REGIONAL DIRECTOR REFLECTIONS
Last November I had the privilege of visiting New Zealand for the first time. My best recommendation about the
country is “don’t miss it”. If I was no longer able to live in one of the North American nations, New Zealand is one of
the two countries in which I could find myself residing. The other is Australia.
While New Zealand and Australia are different nations with unique cultures and histories,
I found that what impressed me about one, impressed me about the other. Both have ancient
cultures that have found a significant place in a modern nation. Both countries are
young in spirit and remind me of America following WWII. Each country has a vitality,
drive, and common spirit that move them together as a nation. The people are warm and
inviting, and they have a hopeful, fearless attitude about the future. They believe strongly
that working together and creating a social compact that embraces everyone is essential to
the wellbeing of all.
While we were in NZ, the US presidential debates where happening in the USA. I found
it embarrassing each evening as I watched the 6:00 o’clock news to have commentators
from another country laugh at our national antics. Their laugher was not so much a mocking
of our politics. It was more a puzzlement as to what happened to America as the vanguard
of thoughtful debate, fair play, support for those in need and civility in our public life. After I got over my embarrassment,
I must say I found I had to laugh at that nonsense too.
I’ve been reading Bill Moyers’ book of his speeches delivered over the last two decades called “Moyers on Democracy”.
In that book he reports on a recent study that surveyed what Americans want in their society, viz. “… social cohesion
and common ground based on pragmatism and compromise, patriotism and diversity.” He goes on to say, “But
because of the great disparities in wealth the “shining city on the hill” has become a gated community whose privileged
occupants, surrounded by moats of money and protected by a political system seduced with cash into subservience,
are removed from the common life of the country.”
While Moyers is talking about our social and political systems, he could just as easily be talking about our religious
and educational communities. In a book called “Coming Apart”, the author outlines in endless detail sociological
studies that show that not only is wealth being concentrated in the hands of a few, but so also is higher education, career
opportunity and access to power.
My visit to NZ and my recent reading have left me wondering about us as an organization – our attitudes and interests,
our openness to diversity and sense of privilege. I would hate to think we might become the gated community Moyers
says isolates and excludes. I wonder if we open our ears to hear the voices that speak to us or are we just listening to
ourselves?
I hope as we work with our Development and Education Committees to identify new areas of service and learning, we
don’t fall into the trap of the gated community. Before looking at all options, I hope we don’t say, “The hospital
doesn’t get anything out of it so they won’t pay for it.” I hope we don’t say, “That place is too remote; if those people
want something, they can come to us.”

Regional Director Reflections Continued ...
That kind of thinking isolates us and disqualifies the great work we do. I hope rather we say with Moyers, “There’s
no mistaking America (or ACPE) is ready for (or in need of) change…” As that change happens, we need to be out
front leading, challenging, and moving people to a new awareness of a more expansive view of life and sense of common
purpose. It is exciting for me to move around the Region and hear of the innovative programs and projects being
planned. Those of you involved in them should deserve our kudos. That in part is how we lead.
I would love to hear us use again the phrase “the spiritual care and education movement”. As a young Supervisor, it
was a phrase that was used often. It told me I was part of something that was meaningful, forward looking and committed
to a common purpose of learning and service. Somehow those New Zealanders energy for the common advancement
of their people reminded me that phrase.
Maybe, just maybe, we can live into that spirit again. Maybe, just maybe, the vitality and vision that grave us our
work, our profession, our craft can spur us to see what’s needed in this new century. The prospect that we can do that
is most exciting. Blessings to you all as we engage our work and move into the future.

ACPE Board Report— Peter Clark & Earl Cooper
During its two most recent conference calls in July and August, the ACPE Board discussed
at length the governance proposal that was presented at the Arlington ACPE/
REM meeting in February. It seemed clear to Board members that a consensus on
restructuring the Board is still in flux and that there was much support for maintaining
regional representation, but at the same time the Board needs to make itself leaner in
order to be more fiscally responsible and more efficient.
Toward that end, the Board approved a motion to maintain its current structure for
the time being, but with two major changes: (1) that each region would elect one representative
to the Board, rather than two (thus reducing the total size of the Board
from 26 to 17); and that (2) all persons elected to the Board would be required to
meet certain competencies and to fulfill the job description of Board members, which
would be specified in documents that will be distributed soon. The approved motion
would need to be ratified by the national membership, because it will mean a change
to the ACPE by-laws (specifically Article 5).
More information about this motion will be forthcoming from the ACPE President and
national office.

GOVERNANCE MANUAL CHANGES
Earlier this month, a draft of changes to the Governance Manual was sent to the Membership. The changes
recommend moving the Chair-Elect/Region Chair position from a six year commitment to four years. When
no one was interested in running for the position, several people were asked about their hesitancy. The demands
of job, institution and family were most commonly named. It seemed daunting to think of committing
oneself to six years in a post when everything seems to be day to day and month to month at this time. With
that in mind, the Regional Council voted to recommend a new four year configuration for the position that parallels
the ACPE President office. The recommended model is as follows: Chairperson-Elect (one year), Regional
Chairperson (two years) and finally Past Chairperson. Please review the recommendation to vote on the change
at the Annual Meeting.
Regional Position Openings:
Elections & Nominations
Regional Chairperson Elect, Secretary, Regional Council and all committees.

The Pacific Region has continues to have a thriving supervisory education process going throughout the entire
region. At last tally there are 10 SES’s (Supervisory Education Students) – these are people who have had a Readiness
Consultation and they have entered the certification track, however have not yet been certified by ACPE to conduct
CPE units. That translates into them being more observers or co-supervising with their ACPE Supervisor. Because they
have not been certified by ACPE they cannot supervise individuals or groups without the presence of their ACPE Su-
pervisor.
Currently we have 20 people who have been certified Candidate. This means
they have met with a Certification Committee and they have been deemed to have
pastoral competence, they are able to articulate conceptually about their experiences
as care givers, and they are perceived by the committee to have potential as an ACPE
Supervisor. These 20 people span the gamut of experience in learning the art of super-
vision. Some have just begun. Others have been at it for a while and are working hard
on getting their theory papers passed. While others have completed their theory pa-
pers and are now intentionally thinking about presenting themselves to the Certifica-
tion Commission for certification as an Associate.
Finally, we have 12 people who have been certified as Associate Supervisor.
They too span the gamut of experience. There are the newly certified Association Su-
pervisors who are delighting in their new found independence. There is the group of
Associate Supervisors who have been supervising for a while and know that someday soon they will be sending in their
Letter of Intent in order to take that last step of certification – ACPE Supervisor. Then there are those who are prepar-
ing their Letter of Intent to be mailed in by the deadline.
Certification
The Pacific Region has done very well at all levels of certification. Many who have met the committees have
been certified. Our ranks of ACPE Supervisors has grown so that we have more than 70 ACPE Supervisors in our Re-
gion. I know that because of a program that was instituted a couple of years ago. An important part of the journey of
certification is writing the theory papers and then passing them! Each region in ACPE is asked to read papers from
Candidates in other regions. We routinely are asked to read papers. I am delighted to report that the system of having
6 ACPE Supervisors assigned to each month of the year has worked very well. I receive a request from ACPE that
there are papers to be read. I contact supervisors and we create a team. I am very pleased at the willingness and support
of our ACPE Supervisors in your region. A great big THANKS goes to all of you who have been readers.
Rod Seeger, Chairperson
The Pacific Region is also very fortunate to have begun and continued the SOS program at each of the spring
and fall meetings of the region. I truly believe the experience that is provided by participation in SOS has aided our
SES’s who present for certification to be successful. At all levels of certification our SES’s have been very successful.
We have a right to feel proud of the infrastructure and opportunity we have provided Supervisors and their students
to make successful forward progress in the certification enterprise. [CONTINUED — Page 13]

EDUCATION COMMITTEE — Learning Project Update
At our last Pacific Region conference, the Learning Network presented work in progress:
identifying core learning for Level I & Level II CPE students. We have been working with
the feedback we received since that meeting and will be bringing the entire compiled
draft to the upcoming Region conference this fall. The main subject areas in the document
include self-awareness, delivery of care, respect for diversity, spiritual assessment,
ethical practice, teamwork and collaboration, and care of staff. Theoretical foundations will be woven
into each subject area.
This project grew out of our desire to provide support both for supervisory students and for the larger
number of CPE students who are at Level I or II. Underlying
our effort has been the awareness that students learn most effectively
when they are
clear about expected
outcomes, have opportunities
to receive feedback,
can participate in
assessments that support
their learning and
when they have a notion
of what they need to do to demonstrate their learning.
Looking ahead, the Learning Network will continue to invite insights
from colleagues and - will be exploring other ways to enhance
educational efforts in the Region. We anticipate linking
core learning with supporting resources--working Certification toward Committee development Report—Continued of user-friendly ways to use
new media (including the Region website), as a means of offering resources that may not be available
in individual centers. Such resources may include theoretical underpinnings for our work, materials
that enhance students’ learning (e.g., books, films, creative ways to engage students), and people in
our Region who have particular expertise that could be shared across geographical distances.
Stay tuned for more to come. And we always welcome ideas and input.

A Letter to the Region
July 5, 2012
ACPE Pacific Development Region
c/o Rev. Cheri Coleman, Methodist Hospital of Southern California
RE: Racial, Ethnic, Multicultural Network 25 th Invitational
Theme: Celebrating Our Past, Embracing the Present, Proclaiming the Future.
Washington, D.C., February 8-11, 2012
Thank you for your scholarship to attend the historic ACPE/REM 25 th Invitational in
Washington, D.C., this last February. I am appreciative of the Pacific Development Region’s
vision, support and encouragement.
As I reflect on how the conference informed my view of multi-cultural, multi-faith and interfaith
work of chaplains, the conference modeled how diverse cultures and religions
could work together to create sacred spaces of ritual and tradition. I was moved by the inclusion
of Native American, Latin American, Japanese, Filipino, African American, Jewish
and Humanist traditions, etc., in the giving of gifts to the incoming President. That first
evening I was given a gift of radical hospitality by the welcoming of many faith traditions
on one stage, along with the coming together of ACPE and REM communities as one.
This hospitality had an immediate impact on my view of care of souls.
The workshop A Black Woman’s Journey of Interdependence: How African Spirituality
and Womanist Theology Have Impacted My Intercultural Pastoral Care given by Dr.
Carolyn Akua L. McCrary from the Interdenominational Theological Center was the first
time I heard an African American woman’s voice of pastoral care. She spoke of the
“hush harbors” where African Americans could speak freely. Her workshop affirmed my
Womanist theology, intercultural values and competency. Dr. McCrary wove African
spirituality and pastoral/spiritual care into a tapestry that I cherish. I was encouraged by
her inviting me to write more and speak with my own voice. I left her workshop feeling
empowered to embrace my cultural diversity. From my personal interaction with her, I
felt strengthened and affirmed to continue my journey to become a board certified chaplain.
In the future, having a forum where other scholarship recipients can get together to dialogue
with potential mentors would enhance the experience. Also, giving a full scholarship
instead of a partial scholarship would benefit the future recipients who have limited
funds. I look forward to assisting the Pacific Development Region and becoming an active
participant in REM on the regional level.
Sincerely,
Reverend Vera Alice Bagneris, M.Div.

Finally, there are two groups of people that I have been able to associate with as the
chair of our regional committee. The one group is the fantastic dozen people who are on
the regional Certification Committee. Over and over again these 12 have given of their
time, their expertise, their compassion, their values to work on sub-committees that are
meeting with SES’s and their supervisors to discern if in fact this person is ready to supervise
students. I count myself to be very fortunate to be the chair of this committee. The second
group is the ACPE Certification Commission. Three people from each of the nine
regions are sent to serve on the Commission. Sandy Walker, Yvonne Valeris and I have
been the three representatives for Pacific Region. In the context of the Commission we
meet people from all over the United States and together we determine who the future supervisors
of ACPE will be. This is an awesome responsibility and experience. It feels much
like what I imagine Moses felt when he encountered the burning bush not consumed. He
was invited to take off his sandals for he was on sacred ground.
Respectfully Submitted,

There are several reporting items that will help you be current and avoid notations.
1) Any and all changes to your program or Center are to be reported on Appendix 2 in the Accredita
tion Manual. This includes contracts, satellites, addition of faculty, name change of institutions, cer-
tification of supervisory staff, and adding/deleting components.
2) The Annual Center Report is due by January 15. It can be completed relatively quickly. The earlier it is
sent, the better.
3) The Annual Regional Accreditation Fee is due in the first quarter of the year. An invoice will be sent
from the Regional Office in early January.
4) If your Center has a 10 year review pending in 2013, remember that site visits should be scheduled so they
occur before the end of October. It will be difficult to schedule site team visits after that date.
Chairperson Beverly Hartz is available for consultation about any of these matters. She is al-
so the person with whom Site Visits are scheduled. Contact information is on the webpage.
