500 Years of the Bible in English

500 years ago William Tyndale completed his translation of the New Testament into English. When printed copies arrived in England in 1526 it was the first time people here could read the Bible in their own language. On August 25th, Bank Holiday Monday, we at Christ Church are commemorating that remarkable, and significant moment, by holding a public reading of a few passages from Scripture in Elmfield Gardens, Teddington.

We will begin at 11am, and the passages will take about 20-25 minutes to read. They will be very well known excerpts from the Bible, and a couple will be read from Tyndale's own translation. Even if you cannot attend, please remember this moment in history, and thank God for what He enabled Tyndale to do.

(Later this year, October 4th, we have a conference at which Brian Edwards will be speaking about Tyndale - about whom he has recently published a book. See our website for full details. All are welcome to attend.)
