Welch College to Host 2012 Theological Symposium

Sep 24, 2012

The 2012 Theological Symposium will meet October 22-23 on the campus of Welch College in Nashville, Tennessee. The symposium begins at 6:00 p.m. on Monday, October 22, and will end at 9:00 p.m. on Tuesday, October 23.

The symposium will be a time for presentation of papers and lively discussion of important issues facing the church today. This year’s program features nine papers on a variety of subjects. Three of the papers focus on specific areas of Jonathan Edwards’s theology: free will, effectual and ineffectual grace, and learning from the spirituality of Jonathan Edwards.  The Commission plans to publish the papers in a book.

For more information on the symposium, contact Commission chairman Matt Pinson (president@fwbbc.edu).

The symposium is an annual event sponsored by the Commission for Theological Integrity of the National Association of Free Will Baptists.
