Pastors and Ministry Leaders,
You are invited to a Theological Symposium on the topic of Eternal Functional Subordination (EFS) / Eternal Relations of Authority and Submission (ERAS). The 2023 EFCA Doctrinal Survey revealed that there is confusion regarding the eternal relations of the persons of the Trinity (see this link, page 6). Better understanding is needed because our beliefs about the Trinity affect other doctrines and shape ministry practice.
This symposium will be led by EFCA pastors and will include music, prayer, and a series of 30-minute lectures with Q&A. Join us from 8:30am – 3:30pm for an informative, interactive, and encouraging time of theological training and fellowship. Coffee and lunch provided.
Teaching Sessions:
- EFS: The Need for Pastoral-Theological Clarity (Aaron Downs)
- For EFS: Case Study of Wayne Grudem (Brent Kompelien)
- Against EFS: Case Study of Glenn Butner (Dave Abernethy)
- The Good Deposit: How the Creeds Help Keep the Faith (Bryan Lair)
- Trinitarian Theology in Day-to-Day Ministry Practice (Joel Newberg)
