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.
