Death Matters: Toward a Sanctity of Death," which appeared in the Fall 1999 issue of The Journal of Pastoral Care (Vol. 53, No.3) , the Pastoral Services Professional Council and the Ethics Consultation Service of the SCO Health Service wish to offer the following critique. The article has also been reviewed by the Pastoral Services Advisory Committee of the SCO Health Service... We found it to be a complex article, well written for th e most part, and worthy of reflection by pastoral caregivers. Of particular merit was the section of the article that dealt with death as part of the natural, as well as the moral, order. Here the author traces the development ofsanctity oflife theology from Genesis through Augustine , to Aquinas, and argues that death can be envisioned not only as an expression of God's wrath and judgement (moral order), but also as an expression of God's grace and love (natural order) . On the other hand, we are deeply concerned that the author appears to move beyond a sanctity of death theology to an ethical practice that could incorporate counseling families to intentionally cause the death of an innocent human being as an expression of God's grace and love. Here, Baroody's logic escapes us; hence we would find it impossible to embrace the model of pastoral care that he attempts to construct on an arguably shaky foundation. Such a "leap of faith" we are not prepared to make.

Reports that there are 800,000 children below the age of 16 serving as prostitutes in Thailand and approximately 200,000 of these children are under the age of twelve. Estimates that 20% of these children will end up with AIDS. Relates these realities to several mental health and theological questions. Argues that God will become real for these children only if sensitive human participation takes place. Proposes that pastoral caregivers can play a crucial role in the confrontation and the resolution of this tragedy.

Describes the church involvement of young African American men who have sex with men (MSM). Reports data secured from 76 individual semistructured interviews with men between the ages of 18 and 29 who reported recent sexual behavior with other men in Atlanta and Chicago that revealed high levels of involvement in African American churches and its impact on self-esteem and sexual behavior. Notes that participation in African American churches encourages sexual secrecy and is associated with decreased frequencies of same-sex contacts. Suggests that African American clergy and other church leaders can initiate dialogue with church-going MSM and redirect ministerial efforts to foster inclusive, nurturing religious communities that no longer marginalize these African American men.

ogy of pastoral care...religious rituals and symbolism...religious research?" (p. 14). He also asked whether CPE should playa role in training lay people (p. 13). Oglesby challenged the organization to focus on the "greater involvement of women in CPE at all levels" and to "break out of its middle-class shell" (p. 34). In response to Oglesby, Thomas describes the emerging role of women in CPE since 1975. In addition to an increase in female supervisors, women became more active in governance. Joan Hemenway was the first Regional Director (Eastern Region) in 1983. Kathy Turner (1992) andJo Clare Wilson (1998) were the first female Presidents. The increase in female supervisors changed the very nature of CPE. Quoting several female supervisors, Thomas points out that women became more than nurturing mothers, they helped the ACPE face "the sexual dynamic inherent in the supervisor-student relationships, including misuse of power by male supervisors on some occasions" (pp. 50-51). Regarding its middle-class shell, Thomas points out that along with an increase in female supervisors, came an increased emphasis in religious diversity (an increase in Jewish and Roman Catholic involvement as well as other world religions) and multicultural involvement (the multicultural network had over 300 participants at its February 2000 meeting). Perhaps its greatest indication of inclusiveness is seen in the 1979 formation of the now Gay/Lesbian network. In response to Powell, Thomas presents statistics showing that the ACPE has seen an increase in laity involvement and a greater focus on spirituality and research over the last twenty-five years. He notes, however, that none of these changes could have occurred if supervisors had not been willing to adjust to changing times. In 1975 Powell reminded supervisors that they would "provide the current context and answers" (p. 14) to the challenges before them. As Thomas puts it, 'What was and is unique about the CPE experience was not that CPE had created a new model, but that it had blended together in the person of the Supervisor a unique individual who was willing to live on the 'boundaries'" (p. 107). I found A 'Snap Shot' History a pleasant and interesting journey, as ifI were sitting with John looking at his photo album of the ACPE. The great strength of this book is that Thomas tells a powerful and important story of how the ACPE has faced its challenges in the last twenty-five years. Indeed, referring to the last 75 years, he notes, "it has changed the health and welfare institutions of the United States..." (p. 108). As is the case with most photo albums, not every picture interested me. Also, a significant drawback is that Thomas shows us primarily the good pictures, such as the student testimonies of the Ah ha experiences. Little attention is given to the Uh oh and Oh no experiences. Thus, we see no testimonies from dissatisfied students. Nonetheless, those with any CPE experience will find A 'Snap Shot' Histor
