Christian Schools Canada Conference
Whistler, BC • October 5-7, 2026
How does Jesus show up in the classroom? The 2026 CSC Conference invites Christian educators and leaders to explore “With: Incarnational Education in Canada Today” with theologian and pastor Revd Dr Sam Wells. Through a rich progression of teaching—from the first night’s sermon “God on Fire” (Exodus 3) to two keynote addresses, “Before the Foundation of the World” and “Making Christ Present” — Dr Wells will guide participants into a deeper understanding of how the very heart of Christian faith lies in God’s desire to be with us. Together, we’ll consider how this incarnational vision shapes our calling as educators: to make Christ’s presence known in classrooms, communities, and the daily life of our schools.
Dr Quentin Genuis will be leading the With Our Neighbour breakout session.
Ethics School: Where Medical Practice Meets Moral Wisdom
Ottawa, ON • November 4-6, 2026
A three-day intensive for physicians who seek to ground their practice in enduring ethical principles. Medicine has always been about more than technique. At its heart, it is a moral practice—one that requires not just clinical skill but wisdom, virtue, and a deep understanding of what it means to care for another human being.
Healthcare and the Christian Life
Course at Regent College • January 5-8, 2027
What features define human life? How do individuals and communities understand and withstand suffering and pain? What is good dying? In our time, these essential human questions are often viewed primarily as bioethics issues. In reality, these are not exclusively medical or bioethical enquiries. Rather, they are questions that all human individuals and societies ultimately wrestle with.
This course seeks to address these issues, bringing theological and medical ethics, as well as different views on what it means to be human, into conversation with each other. Using an approach that will both enrich the practice of medical practitioners and empower the engagement of lay Christians, we will consider the relationship between healthcare professions and Christian communities. We will also consider some specific issues – notably the death-and-dying debates of our own time – to highlight the valuable contributions of theological anthropology to present-day ethics conversations that are ongoing in both professional and lay settings. Learners will come away with tools to think about and engage with critical health issues that are confronting those who work in and those who access the medical system.
