Spring Intensive at The Way College, Vancouver • May 26 - 29, 2026
Dr. Quentin Genuis & Dr. Cara Bergen

It is often a challenge to pursue the good in the midst of the ethical challenges that are brought to us by medical practices today. Whether working in healthcare or making health decisions for ourselves or our families, we need to think carefully through the complex issues of our individual frailty and our responsibility to love our vulnerable neighbours, especially in the midst of a cultural context that champions autonomy as the highest good of human life. This Medical Ethics course has been designed to help Jesus’ followers think through these topics carefully. Our goal is that through this course you will gain a framework for engaging with the difficult questions that emerge from medical ethics. We will seek to help you address many of the moral problems of contemporary medical practices with Christian wisdom, care, and compassion, in a way that exalts Christ and nurtures the gift of his good creation.

A Public Lecture with Prof. Devan Stahl • February 5, 2026 • 6:30 - 8:30 pm

Chronic illness and disability can be transformative experiences within the human lifespan. Yet, these experiences can also reveal taken-for-granted norms concerning what it means to be human: What does it mean to have a “normal” or “healthy” body? What do we need to flourish? What is most essential about us? Who are we in relation to others? Such questions contain ontological (what is the nature of being?) and ethical (what should we do?) dimensions. In their own ways, both medicine and theology provide answers to these questions through systems of belief and practice.

In this presentation, Dr. Devan Stahl will explore how medicine and theology have shaped contemporary interpretations of disability and chronic illness and how the field of theological bioethics brings these conversations together. Drawing on her experience as a clinical ethicist and theologian, Dr. Devan Stahl will explore how disability is understood and addressed within healthcare organizations and congregations, and how these institutions shape our beliefs about what it means to be human.

Dr. Stahl’s lecture will be followed by a response offered by Dr. Quentin Genuis.

Winter Course at Regent College, January 5-9, 2026

Addiction is a crisis of our time. We frequently hear about the devastation caused by drug addiction: overdose deaths, broken relationships, and harm to communities. Many of us have wrestled with addiction in the context of our own lives, homes, workplaces, and churches. It is common to think of addiction essentially as a narrow medical issue. But how might Christian theology address addiction and how it is healed? How can the practices of Christian communities promote recovery, justice, and peace for our neighbors with addiction? This course seeks to engage these difficult and pressing questions. We will seek a nuanced answer to the foundational question: What is addiction? We will consider how the resources of Christian tradition and Scripture can be powerful tools in teaching us how to think, speak, pray, and act with regards to the addiction crisis of our time. Finally, we will explore ways that Christian communities can and should be places of healing and hope for our friends, family, and neighbors with addiction.
