A mock-up of the Handwritten Unity Bible

In light of the May They Be One Bible Campaign launched last September 2008, the Philippine Bible Society will launch the Handwritten Unity Bible Project this coming September on MTBO’s second year. The Handwritten Unity Bible Project was conceptualized as a fundraising project as well as to create awareness in promoting unity amongst the Filipino people in ushering transformation through fostering a love for God’s word. Leaders of the various religious communities will also be asked to contribute to the project as well as encourage their members from all over the country and abroad to write and lobby to complete the whole Bible in 2 years. Some of those who will be tapped for the project will be government officials and prominent personalities. The project targets to collect a minimum contribution of PhP50 for each written verse amounting to a minimum of PhP 3.565 million which will go to the May They Be One Bible Campaign.

ICCAG Convenes for National Bible Week 2011 PDF Print E-mail
Leaders from major Christian denominations came together on Tuesday, June 28, 2010 to plan for the 2011 National Bible Week. The annual celebration endorsed by three presidents – Ferdinand Marcos (Presidential Proclamation no. 2242), Corazon Aquino (PP No. 44), and Fidel Ramos (PP No. 1067) encourages Filipinos to read, study and live daily by the Word of God.
Next year’s theme: May They Be One: “Becoming One Nation in the Stewardship of Creation” is inspired by Psalm 8:3-6. As destruction and degradation of nature spring from greed, the church leaders unanimously agreed to pursue with the new government its thrust against graft and corruption, focusing on becoming better stewards of the country’s resources.
