For Adventists, whose theological roots share common ground with the Anabaptist tradition, this conference presents a unique opportunity to explore the historical connections and shared values between these two movements. As Adventists seek to deepen their understanding of their own heritage and engage in meaningful dialogue with diverse Christian traditions, this conference offers a space for reflection, collaboration, and mutual learning. By examining the Anabaptist legacy, Adventists can glean insights that resonate with their commitment to biblical fidelity, community and peacemaking.
