Alumni Update | Christmas 2016 No Images? Click here Hello Friends, I'm excited to write to you in my new role as Regent College's Alumni & Church Involvement Officer! As a Regent alum myself, I know how transformative the Regent experience is, and also how difficult it can be to stay connected to the life-giving currents of such an experience. With that in mind, my desire is to help you stay connected in ways that continue to cultivate the transformation that began while you were at Regent. In occasional emails like this one, I'll share selected events, stories, and resources that may be of interest to you, and I'll highlight alumni gatherings that have happened or will be happening around the world so you can engage with our global network of alumni. One exciting Regent event this season is the release of Loren Wilkinson and Iwan Russell-Jones' documentary, Making Peace with Creation, which is now available on Regent Audio. For those in or around Vancouver, we have two separate viewings in January.
From time to time, I will also share some of the more whimsical aspects of theological education such as this Christmas greeting, A Theology of Christmas (Ties). I look forward to serving you, and invite you to get in touch with me any time via email or by phone at +1-604-221-3388. Have a wonderful Christmas! Christina Lui (MA '06) P.S. If you are looking for a more serious theological reflection on Christmas, subscribe to the Regent podcast, as the next episode features a Christmas devotional by our beloved Dr. Jim Houston. ALUMNI EVENTSTwo Events in Vancouver 1. Pastors Seminar, 1:00 pm CONFERENCES: SAVE THE DATEDoes my work matter to God? What does faith have to do with my job?

Regent College and the Institute for Marketplace Transformation will bring together practitioners, pastors, and leaders to engage these and other issues on the integration of faith and work at this conference. Pastors & Leaders Conference Drawing from their experiences in urban mission and ministry, plenary speakers Ray Bakke, Karen Wilk, and Eric O. Jacobsen will inspire and equip pastors, church leaders, and the whole missional people of God to bring the eye of the exegete—one who critically interprets—to the context of the local neighbourhood at the 2017 Pastors & Leaders Conference. Discounts available for alumni and church groups. |
