Conference background: The Trinary Committee had been formed by Moody Bible Institute (MBI), Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (TEDS), and the Wheaton College Graduate School (WCGS) to plan projects in which the three Chicago-area institutions could cooperate. The 1986 consultation was to be the first of these. Planning began in 1984.
