Midwest Adventist Theological Society

"Ancient Israel, Modern Adventism and War" is this year's theme.

The Midwest Adventist Theological Society will meet Dec. 1, 2007, at the Andrews Korean SDA Church on Old U.S. 31. The theme is “Ancient Israel, Modern Adventism and War.” One of the spiritual and theological habits of the Adventist Theological Society is sharing relevant findings from biblical research with the broadest possible spectrum of the church’s membership. Over the years they have conducted many Bible conferences and symposia on Sabbaths at local churches, permitting the congregation to voice their questions and concerns on Adventist theology in an atmosphere of mutual affirmation and Christian fellowship. Everyone is welcome to attend.
