By the late 1990s\, there was a perceived need to provide a place to care for distinctly Reformed things so 麻豆视频 could honor that heritage while being more intentionally ecumenical. The Board of Trustees approved the creation of a 鈥淐enter for Reformed Church Studies鈥 on May 21\, 1999\, and the 鈥渋naugural鈥 program of the Center was held on April 30 and May 1\, 2001. But the first four programs of what would become the Reformed Church Center were held during the 2000-2001 academic year. \nThis is why we will celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Reformed Church Center on Thursday\, April 24\, 2024\, beginning with a special hybrid lecture: we will be in-person as well as online for the first time since 2020. Our speaker will be Setri Nyomi\, Interim General Secretary of the World Communion of Reformed Churches (WCRC)\, whose topic will be 鈥淏eing Reformed in the Twenty-first Century: A Gift or a Challenge?鈥 \nSetri Nyomi is a Ghanaian pastoral theologian\, ecumenical leader\, and theological educator.聽 He was General Secretary of the WCRC鈥攆ormerly the World Alliance of Reformed Churches (WARC)鈥攆rom April 2000 to August 2014\, the first non-European General Secretary of this church family that unites Presbyterian\, Reformed\, Congregational\, Waldensian and some Uniting Churches globally. Ordained in the Evangelical Presbyterian Church\, Ghana\, in 1980\, Dr. Nyomi has served as Senior pastor in several congregations in Ghana and has been part of a pastoral staff in the USA.聽 He has also been a Senior Lecturer in Trinity Theological Seminary\, Legon\, Ghana\, and a Visiting Professor at Princeton Theological Seminary in 2016 and at the University of Goettingen\, Germany\, in 2018.
