The Clergy and the Communicants of the Christian Community have been called upon to support and be part and parcel of the Bible Society of Nigeria (BSN).

Bishop of the Port Harcourt Diocese of the Christ Army Church of Nigeria (CACN), the Rt. Rev. Sir Tamunobelema Sekibo K. Braide, made the call last Sunday after being presented with the BSN Special Membership Certificate alongside his wife, Deaconess Dame Ngozi Braide, at the All Saints Cathedral, Diobu, Port Harcourt.

Bishop Braide explained that they can achieve this by enrolling as members in the various categories of membership of the BSN.

The Rt. Rev. Braide who expressed joy for the certificate presented to him and his wife promised to work with the Society to achieve its aims and objectives.

He said: “I will encourage more members of my Diocese to register as members of the Society and I will advise all churches within my Diocese to work and cooperate with the BSN.”

The Bishop assured the leadership of the Society that he would always cooperate and work with them.

Earlier, while addressing the Church, the Chairman of BSN Rivers/Bayelsa Area, Elder Omoni Ayo-Tamuno (BSN-SPM), appealed to the Bishop to appoint a BSN Champlain to interface with the Society for effective relationship and coordination.

Elder Ayo-Tamuno pointed out that the Society was committed to realizing its vision of achieving the widest possible effective distribution of the Holy Scripture by being the most cost-effective Scripture Publisher in Africa.

Highlight of the occasion was the presentation of BSN literatures to the Church, including New Testament Bibles.
