"GOD Talks" is the newest Aqueduct Project program designed to foster theological understanding among the global evangelical community. The name is an acronym that stands for "Global Orthodox Dialogue"—three words that go a long way toward summarizing Aqueduct's mission.
Talks will feature theologians and Christian educators from around the world in a brief (2-20 minute) audio format. Topics will be chosen by the contributor, and participants will be encouraged to focus on their educational areas of expertise or personal ministry experiences.
