    Clinical pastoral education in the Northeast, 1925-2000
    (2001) Jernigan, Homer L.
    Why should there be a separate history of CPE in the Northeast when there are already well-documented histories of the CPE movement that Include much about the beginnings in New England? The most important answer to that question is that there are distinctive aspects of the development of CPE in the Northeast that are in danger of being lost. Another answer is that histories of the national movement cannot give adequate attention to supervisors, centers, and theological schools that have been and continue to be important in the Northeast. A third answer suggests that a review of the history of the region may be an important contribution to the ongoing dialogue and joint ventures taking place between the Eastern and Northeastern regions. A fourth answer suggests that a review of the history of CPE in the Northeast may raise some important questions about the present and future of the clinical pastoral education movement. The history of the Northeast Region needs to be understood in context~in the historical context In which it began and in the context of the CPE movement. Thus, this history is written as a “contextual history.”
