Biography

Reverend Johnny C. Bush was certified as a CPE Educator in 2003.  He trained in 3 of the former regions: Southeast, Northeast, and Eastern.  He was directly supervised by Eugene Rollins, James Gunn, Hayden Howell, Joan Hemenway, Richard Bennick, John Swift, and Denise Haynes, but midwifed and cultivated by the ACPE Racial Ethnic and Multicultural (REM Network) Community of Practice; he was recently re-affirmed by its Steering Committee to lead as the Convenor for REM during this time of organizational transition coming out of COVID.  His professional work has been sustained by his peers and colleagues of the Eastern Area CoP.  Johnny was elected regionally and nationally as a Certification Commission Reviewer in former and current processes. He has worked with conference planning, leadership development, mentoring, and consulting with Educators/Programs and the movement of diversity and inclusion in ACPE.   For more than 18 years, he worked with the Healthcare Chaplaincy Network in New York City, contracting in transitions for multiple healthcare institutions inclusive of but not limited to Beth Israel, NYU, Memorial Sloan Kettering, NY Queens Hospital, and Stamford, Bridgeport, and Hartford Hospitals.  He also coordinated and supervised congregational CPE for the historic Riverside Church on the Upper Westside of New York City for ten years.  He most recently served the Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla, NY, for eight years as Director for CPE and Spiritual Health. He is now contracted as Interim CPE Educator for Yale New Haven Health-St. Raphael Campus.  Johnny relocated back to Columbia, SC, in the fall of last year upon the call to serve the local congregation that gave spiritual birth to him and to rejoin peers, colleagues, and a region that first saw and named possibilities in him.  He will be both humbled and honored to serve the ACPE organization that has provided him meaning and vocation.  

Vision Statement

My hope (or vision) is that we can build on the work started by some hard-working people who engaged in lots of meetings, discussions, wrestling, and writing. I hope that more people in ACPE will feel heard and will also step up and participate, particularly our newly certified educators and people working to get certified. I know that many have said one reason they valued the regions was because they were the place where someone approached them about getting involved. We are in a post-region period, and new changes mean different approaches to getting the work done. I was asked a few months ago whether I would consider running for the Board. Maybe I was asked because I have already served in leadership, or that person believed I would be good at it. Whatever the reason this person approached me, I decided to take a risk. I do want to see ACPE thrive and move into the 21st century while holding on to the issues that we say are important – inclusion, collaboration, justice, clarity about our processes, and growth.

Vision Statement

ACPE's leadership must have a clear strategic vision in order to grow, both domestically and internationally.

Vision Statement

A Vision for ACPE Over the Next Five Years  ACPE must remain resolute in upholding the highest standards possible to guide our training of those who seek to serve as providers of spiritual care, whether that care is for congregants, patients, families & staff, or clients.  Our goal must remain true to the value we place on persons in ministry being self-aware, other-focused and competent practitioners of the knowledge and skills required to provide meaningful and healing encounters on behalf of the other. To do that, we will need to map a future together, a vision that is supported by the membership because they helped create it.  We will need to find creative ways to promote the value of the unique gifts that we share, leaning on established research-based outcomes to demonstrate the transformational process in which we participate.  We will need to make a commitment to future generations of faith leaders and unaffiliated spiritual leaders with no formal faith tradition, by investing our own money in an endowment for the future for ACPE.  And we will need to restore the remnants of former Regions, to functional communities of practice once again.

Vision Statement

ACPE has the opportunity to innovate and grow in years to come.  We can identify markets well-suited to CPE programs and begin new programs domestically and abroad.  We lead institutions in JEDIA, and have vital roles to play in our society promoting inclusion.  We need more CE's to lead more programs, to continue our sacred charge of educating for ministry.  ACPE has vital, growing programs as well as programs that are closing.  We can reflect on what makes for growth and what makes for closure and respond to opportunities.  ACPE needs to be more of a resource for it’s members, especially its new members to integrate them into the Association, bring their creativity to bear, and find opportunities for continuous development.  I believe our Certification processes can lead ACPE into these opportunities.

Vision Statement

Diversity and inclusion has been ACPE’s challenges and growth. I believe ACPE has been working on these in previous years. At the same time, ACPE also has a long way to go. Since I have been serving as a Certification Commissioner from 2021 and anti-bias work group for language/immigration last two years, I have advocated for diversity and inclusion as a Korean American cisgender male. I appreciated my colleagues' openness to learn and practice what they learn. As an organization, ACPE also  needs to work on the structure and processes. I believe one of the important structures is the Certification Commission. As I finish my 1st term as a certification commissioner, I would like to continue to serve as a certification commissioner for the 2nd term. I am very passionate about the certification process. I want to support CECs in their learning and embracing diversity and inclusion, and later integration of it in their education with CPE students. I would like to see in the next five years that ACPE would grow more in the values of diversity and inclusion not only in the Certification process but also other critical areas. So, I am volunteering for the 2nd term of the certification commission to support ACPE and hopefully my contribution will make some difference in ACPE structure.

Vision Statement

ACPE is a location as much as it is an organization; it represents a place wherein people can find wholeness and be prepared to contribute to the wholeness of others. ACPE represents a vision for spiritual care and education that celebrates differences while discovering meaningful common ground for spiritual and educational practice. In a world that seems divided to its core, it can be hard to see how humans can be authentic and authentically connected in love and respect. The CPE process of action-reflection-action is founded on the basic assumption that we can learn and grow together as we engage our experiences in the community. Human experiences can be very diverse and appear to have no common point of reference. However, that perception often changes as each person makes space for themselves to celebrate their unique experiences and personhood. In making space for self, many are inspired to find space for others to celebrate their uniqueness.

Vision Statement

The ancient wisdom that Soul-Care and pastoral psychotherapy are built upon is needed by our world. We are living in a sea of fragmented souls, all trying to find a way to knit ourselves back together. Our cultural mantra of ‘do it myself’ tells us that we should be able to heal ourselves without assistance. The wisdom of pastoral psychotherapy, however, acknowledges that much as we are tattered in community, we are healed in community. Offering ourselves as an anchor to a tattered soul, welcoming all the tattered parts with compassion and respect, begins a mystery of healing and hope. ACPE has embraced an opportunity to pass on this wisdom to the next generation of therapists, those who have the capacity to be soul-healers, through the SIP Training program. It seems that many who are experiencing and seeing the fragmentation of persons today are drawn to the language of spiritually integrative psychotherapy, and long to learn the art of re-stitching souls. The SIP Training Program is positioned to continue and expand offerings on manageable platforms with a variety of formats to meet this growing need. The next challenges of the Psychotherapy Commission seem to be continued management and development, ultimately shepherding the Psychotherapy members beyond the training into a new form of deeper community.
