Showcase: 50 Years of Regent
This short documentary covers highlights from the 50-year adventure of Regent College. Part 1 looks at Regent's roots in the tumultuous atmosphere of the late 1960s, as some of the College's founders reflect on the vision that brought a group of laypeople together to create a new kind of theology school. Part 2 follows Regent's story as it grows into an international community, takes up residence under the green roof, and continues to transform the lives of students from around the world.
Showcase: Reunion Highlights
Catch the best of the reunion, including talks from our keynote speakers (René Breuel, Sarah Breuel, and Dr. Mark Noll), musical reflections, fun times with faculty, and more.
Showcase: Tributes
The Regent community was delighted to honour some of our founders and other luminaries during our anniversary celebrations. View messages for Sven Soderlund on the occasion of a Festschrift in his honour, and enjoy clips from some of our founding families in response to the renaming of Regent's Armerding-Gasque Atrium and James M.

"This Is the Place," by Carolyn Arends
Award-winning musician Carolyn Arends (MATS ’14) wrote “This Is the Place” for Regent’s 45th convocation. In the song, she reflects on her experience as a Regent student and the promise of its lasting impact in her life. To hear more of Carolyn's story, check out the song's "making-of" video, available in the Reunion Highlights showcase.
"O Lord of All the Nations," by David Montgomery
Referenced by Sarah Breuel in her reunion talk, “O Lord of All the Nations” was written by alumnus David ‘Monty’ Montgomery (MDiv ’95) for a Taste of the World performance during his time at Regent. You can find this song (and many others), on the album Pilgrim Path, available through Regent Audio.
A Gift to Regent College
The Saint John's Bible
In 1998, Saint John’s Abbey and University commissioned renowned calligrapher Donald Jackson to produce a hand-written, hand-illuminated Bible. Thanks to the generosity of Julie Hindmarsh, Regent College has been gifted one of the 299 limited edition sets. The Saint John’s Bible is presented to Regent College in honour of founding father, James M. Houston, on the occasion of Regent’s 50th anniversary.
“Through friendship, Jim illuminated the Scriptures to countless students. With gratitude … Julie Hindmarsh.”
Common: Fifty Reflections on Everyday Life
We are delighted to announce the publication of Common: Fifty Reflections on Everyday Life. This special collection was commissioned by the Reunion team in celebration of 50+ years of living theology.
