The 2018 Stott-Bediako Forum was held in Tagaytay, Philippines from the 14th-15th of September, after the Micah Global Triennial Gathering.
Through the theme, Peace Building and Conflict Transformation: The Church in Response to Political Conflict, the Stott-Bediako Forum sought to explore the challenges of conflict through the cultural, social, historical and political lenses particular to each of our contexts. Speakers shared about the issues faced in their regions, their own experiences, and the theological foundations from which they respond. Participants also contributed from and explored the challenges they face locally through breakout sessions and fellowship.

About the Annual Stott-Bediako Forum
The annual Stott-Bediako Forum held by the International Fellowship for Mission as Transformation (INFEMIT), bears the names of John Stott and Kwame Bediako, two historical theologians who shared a vision for theological expressions rooted in and emerging from diverse contexts around the globe. They sought to bridge traditional divides, such as those between “Majority” and “Minority” worlds, men and women, academia and practitioners. Following their example, each year, INFEMIT holds this event in order to bring together scholars and practitioners to reflect and respond redemptively to issues of the gospel in the world today.
