In the process of organising the churches, this led to crystallisation points of the revival, some being newly organised, others had previously been organised by Russian believers. A few ministers were able to bridge gaps between the 1920s and 1950s providing a continuity of church patterns.

This is the result of a meeting of the International Postgraduate Theological Symposium held at IBTS, 15-16 February 2007. These symposia started when some (mostly Western) theology students expressed an interest in getting to know their peers from Eastern Europe. The first symposium, in 2004, in Osijek (Croatia) at the Evangelical Theological Seminary, was followed by a meeting at the Emmanuel Retreat Centre in Romania in 2005.

Other contributors have embarked on PhD studies and their papers show work in progress. These include Lina Andronoviene (Lithuania), an IBTS PhD stu
