A
NEW tri-Service Bible is being printed for distribution early
next year.
Principal Chaplain (PCHA) Simon Hubbard, of the Navy Reserves,
who is involved in its development, said the publication would
include several pages of photographs of ADF members at work, Bible-reading
aids and prayers.
“Recognising that the three Services increasingly operate
together, the latest project is a Bible suitable for all Defence
members, bearing the ADF crest and bound with a camouflage cover,”
PCHA Hubbard said.
“It is hoped that this Bible will prove attractive and will
serve as an encouragement to all Christians within the ADF, especially
those who are deployed.”
The Bible will be the Contemporary English Version “which
is very easy to read”.
PCHA Hubbard said the Bible should become available early in the
new year and ADF members interested in obtaining a copy should
inquire through their unit chaplains.
