The British and Irish Association of Practical Theology (BIAPT) partnered with the Tyndale Society to hold a Symposium at Launde Abbey in Leicestershire exploring five hundred years of Tyndale's work, and its impact on culture, language and theology, entitled: From “the salt of the earth” to “the powers that be” and looking at the impact of biblical language in contemporary culture.
About twenty-five people came from different backgrounds, from all around England and as far as the Netherlands and Canada, including some existing and new members of the Tyndale Society. Through presentations, discussions and conversations, people explored the influence and impact of Tyndale's translation work in Shakespeare, in later Bible translations, Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall, and, generally, in language, music and theology. Readings were given from Tyndale's translation, especially the Cologne Fragment.
