ThePAW Aenon Master Class: Modern Challenges to Apostolic Theology, presented by Bishop Horace E. Smith, explores the pressing theological and cultural challenges confronting the Apostolic Pentecostal Church in the 21st century. The presentation addresses issues such as secularism, gender identity, sexuality, digital ministry ethics, and the reinterpretation of Oneness theology, urging church leaders to respond with biblically grounded, theologically sound, and culturally aware approaches. Emphasizing spiritual and ministerial formation, apologetics, and ongoing education, it calls for a renewed commitment to doctrinal truth while navigating complex ethical questions like human cloning and personhood. Ultimately, the course encourages thoughtful, compassionate, and well-informed engagement with contemporary society while remaining anchored in Apostolic faith and doctrine.
