About the AIIAS Theological Forum

AIIAS Forum is an academic platform for pastors, theologians, elders, and anyone interested in theology. This is a program which encourages participants to exchange their ideas and experiences, and a bridge for them to make friends and foster cooperation.

 

The forum has grown from a training platform for Seminary students’ research presentation into a global community that tackles current issues in the areas of applied theology, biblical studies, and theological-historical studies. In recent years, the forum has adopted official statements that have shaped the direction of the Seventh-day Adventist church both in research and in practice.

 

Participants have enjoyed the fellowship and networking experience through this forum. Despite the circumstances, there is no holding back from yet another exciting forum this year on a crucial theme featuring an amazing lineup of speakers.
