Public Scripture Reading

On Monday November 22, 2010 at 12:30 PM at 110 Market Street – site of Shane’s Candy Store in Old City Philadelphia – the National Bible Association and Scripture Union will commemorate the printing in 1782 of the first English language Bible in America by Robert Altken called “Congress" Bible.

Former Mayor W. Wilson Goode and others will be present to read from the Scriptures at this important location. This was begun last year at this site during the ongoing Philadelphia Bible City focus of 2009. The week of Thanksgiving is also the National Bible Week.
