Regent Academic Dean Paul Spilsbury said, “Mark is greatly loved by many at Regent, and I am grateful for his work among us these past few years. Students, staff, and faculty colleagues have been blessed by Mark in many ways, and we feel sure that he will continue to have a fruitful ministry in years to come.”
In light of the announcement of Mark’s departure, Regent has begun to put in place measures to ensure that there is no loss of continuity for those in the MDiv program, and these have been communicated directly to students. Anyone who requires further information should contact Paul’s office directly at [email protected].
Going forward, Regent’s Board of Governors has approved a search for a new full-time faculty member in pastoral theology. This search will begin shortly. In the interim, Paul will oversee the MDiv program assisted by the Pastoral Formation Team.
