Bhopal: The Archdiocese of Bhopal organized unique Bible hand writing event in Hindi in which all 1334 chapters of the Bible were reproduced in a bid to introduce the local population about the manner in which the Bible used to be written in the ancient time here on Sunday.
The participants braving heavy rain reached the four identified venues in the diocese to join what the organizers termed as grant event in the history of the Archdiocese of Bhopal.

Fr Tirkey is the president of Bible Mitra in the diocese. “Each participant”, he told mattersindia.com came with own holy Bible and we only assigned them the respective chapters they needed to write”.
“Many participants were in queue but unfortunately we could not accommodate them”, he regretted adding “but they too enjoyed watching others writing it”.
Archbishop of Bhopal , Dr. Leo Cornelio who also reached one of the venues – St Joseph Co-Ed School campus – blessed the participants.
He said that I support the holy cause and my good wishes will be always there with the participants for coming out with good output along with spiritually stronger soul. The bible teaches us the art of living our lives more positively, and this platform is an excellent opportunity to inculcate the teachings of bible, while writing the chapters, he added.
