SCEC: A Brief History / Who We Are SCEC is a unique free-standing ACPE Candidate Center formed in 2002, providing Clinical Pastoral Education and other spiritural services, incorporated as a non-profit organization. It is dedicated to serve the northwestern and northern areas of Ohio, as well as the southeastern Michigan area. The Center operates on a contract basis, offering Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) students or residents to train within various institutions -- supplementing current spiritual services in those settings -- or providing such services if an institution has no such service in place. SCEC currently has Candidacy accreditation by the Association for Clinical Pastoral Education (ACPE), a nationally-established accrediting agency for CPE, recognized itself by the Federal Department of Education. This is a preliminary step to full accreditation, which will be sought in 2006. In the meantime, the Center provides accredited ACPE units to all students contingent on completing the unit's requirements. Spearheading this Center are two ACPE Supervisors (teaching chaplains) who jointly claim an impressive number of years' experience in teaching Clinical Pastoral Education. They are an eclectic group, sharing a variety of strengths in Family Systems, Gestalt, Myers/Briggs, spiritual assessment, and pastoral counseling. Each of the Supervisors have served as congregational pastors; and come from Evangelical Lutheran and Presbyterian affiliations. The Center, however, is committed to multi-faith service -- Christian, Islamic, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist, and others -- and looks toward fulfilling that commitment in its day-to-day operations. A community based Board of Directors guides the mission of the Center and serves as the Professional Advisory Group. Representatives of all institutions with which the Center has contracts, as well as other professionals are encouraged to participate. The Board is dedicated to both evaluation and accountability for the Center's activity, so that the programs of SCEC will remain professional and responsive.
