Trinity Symposia

In the course of any academic year, unexpected events and discussions are guaranteed to arise, both on and off campus. Trinity Symposia were designed to flexibly address timely issues within the context of the HCTU’s perennial lineup. These gatherings, covering issues related to the theological and intellectual life of the TEDS community, manifest in diverse formats, ranging from lectures to colloquia to luncheons. Trinity Symposia, while occasional in nature, contribute to the Center’s mission by bringing together students, staff and faculty for mutual exchange of wisdom.
