From January 10-13, 2022, the Biblical Research Institute (BRI) met with theology teachers and church administrators from the Euro-Asia Division (ESD) for a Biblical-Theological meeting in Antalya, Turkey. Twenty-five Bible scholars from the Division Theological Seminaries, together with the ESD Division leadership and the director of the ESD Publishing House came together to listen to theological and spiritual presentations and to dialogue on questions of current concern. A trip to Hierapolis and Laodicea provided a deeper understanding of those ancient centers of influence. Similar meetings with Bible scholars from other divisions are planned in the future.
