CMA: In Care

This year seminary students in the Midwest region are invited to a Seminarian Gathering at Church House, the UCC national headquarters in Cleveland, Ohio, on October 3-5, 2008. This is a great opportunity for our seminarians to meet one another, be introduced to the resources and staff of the national setting of the church, and join in worship and workshops. Please remember that we are only able to offer this opportunity because of the partnership with our conferences and associations. The student contributes $100.00, we ask the association and/or conference where the student is In Care to contribute $100.00, and PLL pays the remainder of the costs for airfare, rooming (double occupancy), meals and programming.

Please encourage your students to attend. You will be receiving registration information in your conference offices in March.

Boundary Training Required For All In Care Students in CMA

Effective September 1, 2005, you cannot be ordained in CMA without having taken a CMA sponsored or approved Boundaries Workshop.

The Chicago Metropolitan Association sponsors a number of two-day workshops to increase awareness about the boundaries that exist between us and those we serve.

Because of the seriousness of the issue, the Church and Ministry Committee and the Association Council voted to require that all students In Care of the Chicago Metropolitan Association complete Boundary Training before they can be approved for Ordination by the Church and Ministry, effective September 1, 2005.
