ETSM represented at EPTA Meeting


Did you know there is a fellowship and joint research entity for Pentecostal schools and scholars in Europe. The European Pentecostal Theological Association (which is the European equivalent to SPS in North America) began many years ago. Our denominational sister schools in Germany and Romania have been member schools since almost EPTA's inception.

Some three years ago, ETSM began to participate in the European Pentecostal Theological Association. However, we have not always been able to participate in the annual meeting. Fortunately, this year we were able to have three representatives at this year's "compressed" conference at our denominational sister school in Germany.

Representatives from most of the Pentecostal seminaries in Europe came together and examined more closely the roots of Pentecostalism in Central and Northern Europe. As a result of this meeting, one of our faculty members has been invited do additional research / presentations in connection with postmodernism and post-Soviet Russian Pentecostalsim.
