The Frumentius Lectures 2025 concluded on a high note with a special dinner and gift ceremony honoring Professor Walter Moberly. The evening was filled with heartfelt conversations, laughter, and deep appreciation for his contributions.
Under the theme “The Old Testament and the Christian Faith Today,” Professor Moberly led thought-provoking sessions that explored enduring biblical narratives, offering new challenges and inspiration for the contemporary church.
Dr. Worku H/Mariam, President of EGST, delivered the closing speech, expressing gratitude for Professor Moberly’s profound insights and invaluable contributions throughout the week.
We extend our sincere thanks to all who contributed to the success of this year’s lectures and look forward to continuing this tradition of theological engagement and academic excellence in the years to come.
We seek to subject our thoughts and actions to God’s Word and affirm the power of Scripture to effect change in individual lives, churches and society.
We come together as a community of learners not for our sake only but also for the sake of others. We seek to grow in our understanding of God and his ways, so that we may help others to acknowledge his governance over the world with its rich possibilities for both individual transformation and for social and cultural renewal.
We believe that theological education speaks to and out of its local context as a dynamic interaction between the local context, the global context and Scripture.
We strongly believe that unity among the churches of Ethiopia is important and can be fostered through cooperative, inter-denominational graduate-level theological education. We also seek to partner with individuals, institutions, churches and organizations within and outside Ethiopia.
We value learning alongside people from different traditions and churches. Exposure to varying traditions challenges thinking about God and the diversity of his work in the world. While EGST promotes unity, it also appreciates and respects diversity.
We value the importance of worshipping God with our minds and strive for excellence both in our rigorous study of Scripture and in our critical analysis of context.
We seek to be people who model Christ’s values such as love, humility, compassion, justice, integrity, self-control, and holiness.
We seek to promote ecumenical relationships among churches in Ethiopia in order to enhance mutual understanding.
