The Prime Minister's Speech Friday December 16th
I like what David Cameron says in his speech.....to quote just part of it...
It’s great to be here and to have this opportunity to come together today to mark the end of this very special 400th anniversary year for the King James Bible.
...I am proud to stand here and celebrate the achievements of the King James Bible.
Not as some great Christian on a mission to convert the world.
But because, as Prime Minister, it is right to recognise the impact of a translation that is, I believe, one of this country’s greatest achievements.
The Bible is a book that has not just shaped our country, but shaped the world.
And with 3 Bibles sold or given away every second…
…a book that is not just important in understanding our past, but which will continue to have a profound impact in shaping our collective future.
