Alliance Theological Symposium on Deeper Life & Mission Perspectives

Second Alliance Theological Symposium on “Deeper Life & Mission Perspectives” May 4-5, 2026, Izmir, Türkiye.

The AWF International Commission of Theological Education will be hosting a theological symposium for the worldwide Alliance community. Scholars, pastors, leaders, and others wishing to contribute to the work of the Alliance are invited to propose a paper for the Symposium by the 31st of November 2026. Acceptance of papers will be communicated as proposals are received. Presentations will be 20 minutes, with an additional 5-10 minutes for questions and interaction. It is hoped that a selection of papers from the conference will be subsequently published in an edited volume.

The Call for Papers is now open that addresses the theme of Deeper Life and Mission Perspectives in some way. Papers addressing various aspects of these themes are welcome.

Please note that preference will be given to presenters who are able to attend the symposium in person. Some online presentations may be available.

Guidelines for Paper Proposals

The title of the proposed presentation, with an abstract of 250-300 words, should be sent to the Chair of the ICTE, Associate Professor Peter Laughlin ([email protected]) by November 30, 2025. Submissions should be accompanied by contact details: name, title, position, phone number and email address.
