Ellen G. White Symposium 2016

Breaking ground in understanding life, ministry, prophetic gift

The 2016 Symposium on Ellen G. White Issues will take place in the chapel of the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary on the campus of Andrews University on Monday, March 28, from 9:15 a.m. to 5 p.m.

“The purpose of this event is to break new ground in understanding Ellen White and the issues relating to her life, ministry and prophetic gift that have current importance,” explains Merlin Burt, director of the Center for Adventist Research in the James White Library on the campus of Andrews University.

The symposium will have an academic structure, with papers presented and comments made by presenters. The papers will later be published in a journal to be made available at a reasonable cost.

“There will be an opportunity for attendees to submit questions relating to Ellen White issues,” says Burt. “We will attempt to discuss as many of these questions as time allows.”

Speakers this year are Brian Strayer, Bryce Bowman, Katrina Blue and Merlin Burt. The symposium is free and open to the public. Pastors, theologians, scholars of Ellen White and Adventist studies and history and seminary students might be particularly interested in attending this event.

“We are very much looking forward to this annual event,” says Burt. “Though this will be an academic symposium it is our intention that it also provide spiritual encouragement and inspiration for those who attend.”
