"Itβs the book I love the most but find the hardest.β
Roy Jenkins is in conversation with SiΓ’n Rees, the new head of Bible Society in Wales.
This week Roy Jenkins is in conversation with SiΓ’n Rees, the new Head of Bible Society in Wales whoβs less than two weeks in the job. The charity has its roots in Wales with Mary Jonesβs 26 mile walk to Bala in mid-Wales over 200 years ago to buy a bible in her own language.
Today, Bible Society (formerly known as the British and Foreign Bible Society) is finding new ways of telling (as the hymn goes) the old, old story. Only this month the society has released a new video βThe Bible in four minutesβ; a spoken animation written and narrated by Welsh poet Dai Woolridge. In this programme SiΓ’n Rees tells Roy of her upbringing and her commitment to recapture today the kind of passion for the Bible as Mary Jones showed 200 years ago.
