On 19th March 2026, five members of the Tyndale Society had a meal and planning meeting in the Tudor restaurant of the White Hart pub in St Albans. This was followed by a talk at St Albans Abbey about Sir Thomas More by author Joanne Paul. Sir Thomas More had an intense theological opposition to William Tyndale, writing his "Dialogue" in 1529 that condemned Tyndale's English New Testament as heretical and full of errors. Tyndale countered this in "An Answer unto Sir Thomas More's Dialogue" in 1531, which defended his work. For a copy of Joanne's book click on the link below.
The Tyndale Society USA’s 3rd Annual Conference was held on March 14, 2026 at the Mary Dod Brown Memorial Chapel, at Lincoln University in Pennsylvania. It focused on Tyndale’s 1526 New Testament and Reformation themes. The speakers were:
- Dr. Marilyn Button, who presented a biographical overview of William Tyndale;
- Rev. Dr. Richard A. Whitesel, who delivered the keynote speech on the legacy of Martin Luther and
- Hon. Thomas E. Martin Jr., who spoke on the “Affair of the Sausages” using Zwingli’s life to explore issues of Christian liberty. (To read a transcript of his talk, click below.)
Musical interludes were presented by Aaron Bryant, Christopher Kraus and vocalist Robert Joubert. For a fuller report of the conference, click on the link below.
A report of the event appeared in the West Chester Daily News:
March 2026's Tyndale Talk was given by
author and linguistics expert Dr David Crystal.
He explained about his research into determining the original pronunciation of the Bible in William Tyndale's time. He related how he had been commissioned to record the Gospel of Matthew from Tyndale's 1526 New Testament by the British Library and he recited parts to us, detailing how he came to his conclusions. It was an excellent and interesting talk.

The Tyndale Society has developed a YouTube channel for recorded Tyndale Talks. This includes a recorded audio talk made by founder Prof David Daniell in 2004, but mainly includes edited, recorded talks made over Zoom during some of the monthly, online Tyndale Talks which began in September 2024. The channel was officially launched on 31st January 2026, at an online meeting of the Tyndale Society to mark the 31st anniversary of the Tyndale Society. More items will be added over time as content is edited and uploaded.
This project is being produced by Marilyn Button (Chair of the Tyndale Society USA) and Helena Filmalter (Projects Coordinator of the Tyndale Society USA). For more information, please contact Helena directly.
