Government to send a copy of the King James Bible to every school in England

The Government has decided to mark the 400th anniversary of the completion of the translation of the King James Bible into English by sending a copy of it to every school in England.

We welcome the Government’s decision to send a copy of the King James Bible to every school. Christianity has made a huge contribution to English history, language and culture and it is excellent news that one of the most popular English translations of the Bible should be made available to all children.
