Bible Societies around the
world are celebrating the 200th anniversary since their
founding this week. The British and Foreign Bible Society
was established at a meeting in the London Tavern, on March
7, 1804. It was the first of 138 national Bible Societies
which now operate in 235 countries. The Bible Society in New
Zealand, which began its work here in 1846, was the twelfth
Bible Society to be established.
