The Commission for Theological Integrity is pleased to unveil its 2019 Symposium Program. This year’s program has a great mix of younger, middle-aged, and senior scholars alike. And while most papers do deal somehow with our theme (The Doctrine of the Church), there are some other unique papers which will be shared at this year’s program. Take advantage of this free event on the campus of Welch College, October 28-29.
