Dr. Mike Stallard
The Council on Dispensationalism had its 19th annual meeting on September 16 & 17, 2026 on the beautiful campus of The Friends of Israel Gospel Ministry in Westville, New Jersey (Philadelphia area). We thank FOI for being a gracious host institution and for the quality help they gave in helping us have a successful conference. The 18 academic papers presented were the most in the history of this study group for traditional dispensationalists. We expect several publications to emerge from this year’s group of excellent papers. Our theme on “Israel, War, and Antisemitism” was a sensitive but important one for our day. At least six papers dealt in some way with antisemitism, an evil that dispensationalists must oppose vigorously.
We give presenters one month to modify their papers based upon the interaction at the meeting. Until then, only those who attended the conference will have access to the papers. After that, separate videos for each original presentation will be posted along with the updated papers for universal access. We would like to thank our presenters for the sacrifice they made in spending time and expense for their efforts. At the present time, one can go to the schedule and view the entire recording for the livestream.
Several attenders of the conference commented that their favorite part of our meeting was the Rabbi panel on Wednesday. I believe that was true for me as well. Pray in these days of hostility toward Jewish people and national Israel, that dispensationalists will remain firm friends in spite of our serious differences.
I would like to hear from those watching the live stream about their experience with it. You can email me at mike.stallard77@gmail.com.
Next year will be the 20th anniversary meeting of the Council. The specific dates are September 15 & 16, 2027 at a location to be determined.
