In September, the Bishops of England and Wales will unveil a programme of events to mark the “Year of the Word”, to which 2020 will be dedicated.
The Year is still being planned, in collaboration with the British Bible Society, but details are starting to emerge. It could involve the appointment of “Scripture champions” to every diocese; all parishes would be invited to take part. They will be asked how they can improve their understanding of the Word of God so that they might “achieve transformation in our hearts and in our communities”.
