REFORMED COLLOQUIUM
25–27 March 2025 | Budapest
THE DOCTRINE OF GOD
“say to the cities of Judah, “Behold your God!”
Isaiah 40:9
We warmly invite Reformed pastors, elders, theological educators and students, and their wives, to our 2025 Colloquium, to be held in Budapest from Tuesday to Thursday, 25–27 March.
Our theme is ‘The Doctrine of God’. As Martin Bucer wrote, ‘True theology is not theoretical but practical. The end is to live a godly life’. Because Christian doctrine is by its very nature practical and pastoral, there’s no better way to grow than to contemplate the person and work of our glorious triune God. Alongside addresses from nine respected pastor-theologians, we’re delighted to have Julie Winch and Heidi Szabo speaking at two special seminars for women.
Join us, then, as we learn from God’s Word and from one another, enjoy fellowship, and consider how we might work together to train men for God-glorifying gospel ministry in central and eastern Europe.
