“The concept of polycentricity directs us to recognize that the trajectory of mission is no longer, as long assumed, solely from the West to the East or South, but also in reverse. Mission is openness; it can be initiated and directed in multiple directions—it is essential to listen to God’s voice. May His voice guide you as you reflect on the Nicene Creed as a foundation for missionary work, and welcome!” said our Dean, Dr. Dalibor Kraljik, at the official opening of the CEEAMS conference this evening, February 14, 2025.
The attendees in Osijek, as well as those joining online, were greeted by the President of CEEAMS, Dr. Dorottya Nagy (Netherlands), and greetings were also extended by Dr. Cristian Sonea (Romania) on behalf of the CEEAMS Council. Following this, the first plenary discussion was opened by Dr. JNJ Klippies Kritzinger (South Africa), who provided a historical overview of mission work from and after Nicaea.
The conference program continues tomorrow and the day after with presentations and discussions from speakers representing various countries across Europe and the world.
