# Event Details - **Event Name**: Doreancon 2026 - Retrieving a Doctrine of Simony - **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 29 Sep, 2026 at 09:30 am – Tue, 29 Sep, 2026 at 08:30 pm (-07:00) - **Event Description**: Welcome to our second annual conference on the dorean principle!About this EventIn the past, the church was often plagued with crooked deals for power and prestige. For a price, one could purchase ecclesiastical office, whether it be an episcopal see or some title of lesser rank. These were positions that came not only with power but with prebend, a regular stipend that was substantial and secure. For the shrewd and unscrupulous, the upfront investment was small compared to the payoff.Reformers in the church fought against this practice and labeled it “simony” after Simon the magician. This is in reference to Acts 8:18-19 after Simon the Magician sought to obtain the gift of the Spirit by purchasing it.This practice largely thrived during the post-Nicene era and throughout the Middle Ages. However, it exists today in a new form. Rather than restraining itself to backroom dealings, it happens in the open marketplace. Rather than being a matter of church office, it is a matter of the gospel itself.Come join us as we discuss this doctrine and how it applies to us in 2026.We will be hosting a pre-conference debate on Monday, September 28th, 2026. The regular conference starts on Tuesday, September 29th, 2026 and ends Wednesday September 30th, 2026.Pre-Conference Monday🕑: 03:30 PM - 05:30 PMPre-Conference Debate🕑: 06:00 PM - 07:30 PMPre-Conference Dinner - Monday Oct, 5thTues Sept 29🕑: 08:00 AM - 09:30 AMBreakfast 🕑: 09:30 AM - 10:30 AMMessage 1 - TBA🕑: 10:45 AM - 11:45 AMMessage 2 - TBA🕑: 12:00 PM - 01:15 PMLunch🕑: 01:30 PM - 02:30 PMMessage 3 - TBA🕑: 02:45 PM - 03:15 PMLightning Talks🕑: 03:30 PM - 04:30 PMUnconference🕑: 04:45 PM - 05:45 PMMessage 4 - TBA🕑: 06:00 PM - 06:15 PMDinner🕑: 07:30 PM - 08:30 PMPost Debate Analysis + Q&AWed.
