INTER-EUROPEAN DIVISION (EUD)

Euro-Africa Division becomes Inter-European Division

The Annual Council of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventist Church voted October 2012 to change the name of the division because of the 2011 reorganization which placed the Muslim countries into the Greater Middle East Union now attached to the General Conference. The name Inter-European Division more accurately depicts the territory of the division. The acronym will remain EUD.

Wall of Women of Distinguished Service

A wall in the new location of the GC Women’s Ministries features Women of Distinguished Service. Although the wall of portraits has been a stop on the GC tour in the former location, the display now boasts new signage and 14 portraits of women currently serving in each of the 13 divisions and one in the GC. A new brochure featuring the biographies of each woman represented on the wall has been published.
