Our Story
Founded in 2018, Social Justice Clinical Pastoral Education (SJ CPE) is dedicated to transforming lives through spiritual care education. By placing student chaplains in non-traditional settings such as homeless shelters, mental health facilities, and correctional institutions, SJ CPE fosters a unique approach to chaplaincy. A pivotal moment occurred when Rev. Dr. Sue Allers-Hatlie was invited to Stillwater State Prison to train in Restorative Justice, leading to the development of a program that empowers inmates to provide spiritual care to their peers.
