BIBLE READING CHALLENGE

2011 is the 400th anniversary of the printing of the first widely available English version of the Bible, the King James Version. More than any other book, the Bible has helped to form our country’s life and culture. Yet today for many it is largely an unknown book.

The Scripture Union publicised the E100 Bible Reading Challenge to encourage people to read a short bible passage each day: 5 days a week: for 20 weeks. Details were found on www.e100challenge.org.uk under Resources

We took part in the challenge at the English Chapel in Aberdyfi and we hope we have helped you in this personal Bible reading initiative. At our Sunday morning services from the 9th January until the end of May the speakers focused on the following week’s readings, putting them in the wider context of the Bible as a whole and helping us understand and appreciate more of what we read.

Representatives of Aberdyfi churches and chapels have presented each child at Ysgol Gynradd Aberdyfi with two bibles, one in English and one in Welsh, to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the King James authorised English version, published in 1611, and also to remember the important event in Welsh history when Bishop William Morgan translated the Bible into Welsh in 1588. Pictured are the children with their bibles and representatives from Aberdyfi churches and chapels, Rev Christina ten Wolde, David Roberts, Hefin Birch, Mary Bosi, Dr Terry Edwards, Sheila Lumley and Ann Lakin.
