Registration by the published deadline is required to ensure that participants receive handouts, login information and pre-reading materials, if any, in sufficient time before the webinar.

Overview:
As our profession becomes more diverse religiously and spiritually, we know that not everyone finds a home in a formal faith group endorsing body. In 2019 APC/BCCI created an equivalency option for endorsement, and to date 7 people have applied, and all were granted. This webinar is designed to affirm our diversity and hopefully open a door for someone who feels there are no options for them regarding endorsement.

Learning Objectives:
- Raise awareness of Faith Group Equivalency option in certification process
- Hear from two BCCs who were granted a Faith Group Equivalency

How It Works;
To participate, all that is needed is a computer with Internet access and speakers, as the presentation audio and visuals are "webcast." Our webinars are priced per computer terminal, not per participant. That means you can invite as many colleagues to join you as can fit in your conference room or cluster around your computer. As a participant, you will be able to interact with the presenters, who will ask questions of the audience and answer questions posed by participants.

System Requirements:
As a Best Practice, we highly recommend;

An Ethernet connected computer for best connectivity and listening experience. You may experience some buffering of audio on lower bandwidth wireless connections.
Chrome v50 or higher (recommended for best performance), Safari 12.1 or higher, Firefox 49.x or higher.
A stable Internet connection, DSL or above: 500kbps or higher to ensure fluidity of all services.
Operating System: Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, Mac OS X v10.8 or higher, Linux, Solaris.
Computer Speakers (for participants listening over the computer)

The link below will test your system to make sure it is compatible with the current version of the TelSpan viewer and to make sure it is not being blocked by your network. Please make sure you complete the system check before accessing the webinar.

Please click the following System Test link: http://web.telspan.com/systemcheck

All the lines should have a green check mark, with the exception of the webcam line, which can be red or green. If any lines except the webcam line are red, please contact your network administrator to allow TelSpanWeb access the following ports:

WEB SERVER: https traffic on port 443.
SIGNALING SERVER: https traffic on port 443 (recently changed from port 80).
MEDIA SERVER API: https traffic on port 443.
This will allow TelSpan to work properly.

"Webcam Access" applies only to presenters, so if you see a red "X," that's OK.

If you have any further questions or concerns, or if you do not have computer speakers, please contact APC at info@apchaplains.org for assistance.
