ABC will be providing dormitory space to BFS attendees; meals will also be served in the campus dining hall from Tuesday supper through Thursday breakfast. PhD and ThM students are welcome in dorm housing but must cover their own meals. Spouses may stay in a room in the lodge for $25 per night (plus meal costs).
We also want to extend an invitation to any pastors with earned academic doctorates who may wish to participate.

Bible Faculty Summit

Theme and call for papers will be announced in the next few weeks.
The 2016 Bible Faculty Summit is complete.
The participants are thankful to Larry Oats and the staff of Maranatha Baptist University (especially the women who supplied bedding and towels!) for their generous welcome.
The papers were of a consistently high quality; the discussion and fellowship were genuinely edifying; the coffee was plentiful.
The 2017 Summit is planned to be held at Detroit Baptist Theological Seminary. Date to be determined.
