The Houston Centre for Humanity and the Common Good is a five-year initiative of Regent College (Vancouver, BC), grounded in the comprehensive vision of integrative scholarship of the late Dr. James M. Houston (1922–2026). Its main task is to foster interdisciplinary and interreligious dialogue on the central question of the late-modern world: what does it mean to be human?
Inviting a range of philosophical perspectives through collaboration with the University of British Columbia and other institutions, the Centre explores a holistic understanding of humanity that accounts for the unique social, political, and theological issues of our time. Comprising a community of leading scholars, the Centre generates dialogue across disciplines — theology, philosophy, biology, cognitive science, political studies, and more — in order to navigate the mystery of the human person.
Through public lectures, seminars, and a variety of publications, the Houston Centre helps others engage theological questions of humanity for the common good.
