Adventist History: 1970 GC Session Adopts the Name Trans-Mediterranean Division (and other stories)

21 Jun 2023

This week in Adventist history, the name Trans-Mediterranean Division was adopted by the delegates to the 1970 General Conference Session to designate the territory of the former Southern European Division.

This unit of church organization functioned for 18 months until December 31, 1971 when the Trans-Mediterranean Division was merged with the former Central European Division to become the Euro-Africa Division.
