The Priscilla & Aquila Centre’s research conference is for women. Its purpose is to grow an academic learning community of evangelical Reformed complementarian women.
This conference would benefit women in vocational ministry. It also seeks to encourage Christian women interested in writings projects and theological study, whether at an undergraduate or postgraduate level.
It is being held on the day following the annual Priscilla & Aquila Centre’s conference to maximise travel time for those coming from greater distances.
