What's being said about No Bible Sunday

Quotes on this page are from the Campaign run by Wycliffe UK in 2004.

"No Bible Sunday is to remind us in the church - no Bible, no life!"
Mark Brown,
Granshaw Presbyterian Church, N. Ireland

 "Every household that has a Bible owns a treasure-chest. Sadly it's often left unopened. My prayer is that No Bible Sunday will help people to realize that in many countries there are no Bibles in the local language, and to appreciate the treasure most of us have in our own homes."
Nigel McCulloch,
Bishop of Manchester

 "No Bible Sunday opens up a whole new world - real people, real places, real need... real opportunity."
Niall Lockhart,
Hamilton Road Presbyterian Church, Bangor, N. Ireland

 "WOW!! What a great idea! We'll be using this idea at our Messianic Jewish Fellowship here in Manchester on May 15th. Thanks for the inspiration! Shabbat Shalom"
Adrian Glasspole,
CMJ Evangelist, Manchester

 "No Bible Sunday - I thought this went against all we've ever stood for - until I thought of over 300 million who face that reality every Sunday."
Alan Gibson,
former General Secretary, British Evangelical Council.

 "No Bible Sunday might just raise the hint of an idea in some Christians' mind that the Scriptures they sometimes take for granted would be considerably more precious if suddenly taken away. Tell them to leave their Bible at home and see how much of it they can remember without prompting! Should be interesting..."
Nick Baines,
Bishop of Croydon

 "No Bible Sunday presents a significant challenge to spoilt Christians in the West who treat Bibles as expensive ornaments."
David McMillan,
Windsor Baptist Church, Belfast, N. Ireland

 "A. W. Tozer once said that if the Holy Spirit was removed from our churches, many of us wouldn't notice the difference. Could the same thing happen on "No Bible Sunday"? Or will it help us realise what a privilege it is to have God's Word in our language (in dozens of versions!)"
Rev Peter Grainger,
Charlotte Baptist Chapel, Edinburgh
