Centre for Pentecostal and Philosophical Theology | PORE Initiative
The Centre for Pentecostal and Philosophical Theology is the research and training wing of
Living God’s Church. We bring Pentecostal faith into conversation with the wider Christian
tradition, with philosophy and with the questions of public life, for the service of the Church
and the common good.
