Several years ago, the UUMA received a request to strengthen offerings for chaplains, and in particular learning opportunities that could count toward the 50 hours of continuing education required each year to maintain your Board of Chaplaincy Inc. (BCCI) certification. We are delighted to announce that the upcoming Institute has a variety of offerings that “count” toward your CE requirements, including:
Skills and Pastoral Tools for Ministering to Addiction/Substance Use Disorder
Innovations and Challenges in Chaplaincy (virtual)
The Landscape of Grief
Trauma Informed Ministry in Troubled Times
Julica spoke with Beth Stalec, the continuing education and administrative coordinator at BCCI, to confirm that when you attend Institute, you can count:
4 hrs toward the “professional self care” methodology (#4), as there will be plenty of opportunities to create a space for “spiritual retreat” and reinvigorate your ministerial call, AND
5 hrs toward the “research” methodology (#8), if you attend “Innovations and Challenges in Chaplaincy;” PLUS 4 hrs toward the “attending educational events” methodology (#1), because the learning track is 9 hrs, so this completes the learning time (for a total of 13 hours of CE); OR
9 hrs toward the “attending educational events” methodology (#1), if you attend “Skills and Pastoral Tools for Ministering to Addiction/Substance Use Disorder” (for a total of 13 hours of CE); OR
6 hrs toward the “attending educational events” methodology (#1), if you attend “The Landscape of Grief” or “Trauma Informed Ministry in Troubled Times” (for a total of 10 hours of CE).
Have ideas about how we can foster collegial community at the Institute? We want your proposals! Are you a yoga or water aerobics instructor? Do you like leading conversations about the enneagram and ministry? Would you enjoy hosting a craft and conversation circle? Or maybe you have created a new ritual you’d like to share with colleagues? Please fill out this form to offer your proposal by 9/29.
