IACPC Education
IACPC Journal of Pastoral Care & Counseling provides a medium of communication for practitioners, researchers, and theoreticians in pastoral and spiritual care, counseling, and education. All material submitted to IACPC must reflect the ethical standards of the pastoral associations that sponsor IACPC.
Separation of Church and State
There is secular education and there is religious education. Secular schools seek secular education, and sacred schools receive sacred accreditation—each by their own peers. Religious institutions need no secular accreditation because they offer no secular degrees. Secular accreditation associations in turn are recognized by governmental agencies. They trace their authority back to the capitol of a country, like Washington, D.C. Religious accrediting associations are recognized by the Church of Jesus Christ, which has no supreme central office on earth. Our authority is derived directly from Heaven. Civil and religious interests are different and have separate realms of jurisdiction. The State is not superior to the Church. The Church need not wait for approval from the secular world. Civil agencies should not be dictating standards of Christian education, any more than a police officer should be directing the worship of God. Theological Seminaries should not be accredited by accrediting associations that are "recognized" by an agency of the federal government, because it is contrary to the Biblical principle of "Separation of Church and State," indicated by Christ when He said, "…Render unto Caesar the things
that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s…" (Mark 12:17).

Considering the massive challenges facing pastors, we can appreciate what the Apostle Paul said:
1 Thessalonians 5:12-13
And we urge you, brethren, to recognize those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord and admonish you, 13 and to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. Be at peace among yourselves.
We also read in the Scripture:
Hebrews 13:17
Obey those who rule over you, and be submissive, for they watch out for your souls, as those who must give account. Let them do so with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable for you.
The way leaders are protected and undergirded is illustrated in the life of David:
1 Chronicles 12:16-18, 21-22
Then some of the children of Benjamin and Judah came to David at the stronghold. 17 And David went out to meet them, and answered and said to them, "If you have come peaceably to me to help me, my heart will be united with you; but if to betray me to my enemies, since there is no wrong in my hands, may the God of our fathers look and bring judgment." 18 Then the Spirit came upon Amasai, chief of the captains, and he said: "We are yours, O David; We are on your side, O son of Jesse! Peace, peace to you, And peace to your helpers! For your God helps you." So David received them, and made them captains of the troop.
21 And they helped David against the bands of raiders, for they were all mighty men of valor, and they were captains in the army. 22 For at that time they came to David day by day to help him, until it was a great army, like the army of God.
Just like it says of old with David, Pastors today need people:
* Who come to them in peace.
* Who come to help them.
* With whom they can truly unite.
* Whose heart is for the success of the vision that God has given the Pastor.
