We Are UniqueWe have listened carefully to the voices of our clients, our interdisciplinary colleagues, the interfaith community and each other. We have repeatedly heard the need expressed for a genuine international and interfaith-based spiritual and pastoral care professional community that educates, nurtures and supports individuals, in a wide diversity of settings; a community which is working every day in the service of Spirit to help, heal and transform individual and global wounds. CSCPF strives to be that community. We offer a relational, inclusive and personalized approach while encouraging growth in the wisdom, knowledge and skills needed for spiritual care in the 21st century. The CSCPF Community seeks to foster common ground among multiple faith groups, interfaith communities, spiritual - not religious and non-theist perspectives.
