2007 Tyndale Society Conference, Worchester England

The 2007 Tyndale Society Conference, "Tasting the Word of God," in Worcester, England was superbly well organized and orchestrated, and much edification and enjoyment was had by all who had opportunity to join us. We had quite a diversity of people from many walks of life, and a remarkably interesting line-up of speakers and presenters.

We also did historical tours of Oxford, Worcester, Gloucester, and London. Lectures were presented by Hon. Thomas E. Martin (Role of Arthur in the Reformation), Rev. Phillip Arthur (Life and Work of William Tyndale), Rev. Mostyn Roberts (William Tyndale's "The Obedience of the Christian Man"), Mary Miles (Historical Backgrounds), Stuart Owen (Richard Baxter), Dr. Robert Letham (Tyndale's Heirs: the Westminster Assembly), Dr. Carl Trueman (John Hooper, Hugh Latimer), and Andras Mikesy (Tyndale and Luther on the Epistle to the Romans). Simon Ward (who played James Herriot in "All Creatures Great and Small") concluded the program in Worcester Cathedral with a dramatic rendition of Hugh Latimer preaching.

Overall, it was encouraging to learn more of the great leaders of the English Reformation, and their efforts to get the Bible into the language of the people. Please consider joining us next year for one of our conference tours!

Scholarships

To promote understanding of historic Christianity and the contents of the Bible, the John Newton Center occasionally grants scholarships to students to attend conferences in North America and abroad.  Scholarships originate as designated, tax-deductible gifts from private benefactors to the John Newton Center for the expressed purpose of sponsoring students for events such as the Third Tyndale Conference and the Philadelphia Conference on Reformed Theology.
