History

The initial meeting of a working committee to discuss the establishment of WAPTE was held in Singapore on September 12-13, 2008 with attendance by representatives from theological associations from Africa, Latin America, Europe, Eurasia and Asia Pacific. At that meeting it was agreed to proceed with the development of a constitution for WAPTE and explore a connection to the Pentecostal World Fellowship. At a meeting of the working committee held in Springfield, MO on July 28-30, 2009, WAPTE was formally established. In September 2009 the endorsement of PWF was received and in August 2010 WAPTE organized the theological consultation for the Pentecostal World Conference (PWC) in Stockholm, Sweden and was subsequently appointed to serve as the PWF Education Commission.
