Meeting people throughout Europe for EBF Mission I was impressed by the motivation, gifts and desire to learn of churchplanters, mission-minded people and people involved in arts and mission. I'm glad to be part of the IBTS Centre team since January.International Conference 2018
Evangelicals and Oppression: Eastern European Perspectives
18-20 April 2018
A joint IBTSC Amsterdam and EBF Theology and Education Commission conference
Held at the Baptist House, Postjesweg 150, 1061 AX Amsterdam
The conference explored the topic 'Evangelicals and Oppression' in a wide-ranging way and from different angles: oppression that Eastern European Evangelicals have met in their history; elements of oppression that Evangelicals have created themselves in relation to other groups or within their own church life; conflict and community; religious freedom and political pressures; Biblical interpretation and persecution in Evangelical life; spiritual practices in times of persecution and oppression; reception of and reactions to oppression and tensions; practices of forgiveness in historical perspective.
Conference papers will be published in a 2018 issue of the IBTSC Amsterdam journal Baptistic Theologies.
