Yamoussoukro, Côte d’Ivoire — The magnificent stained-glass
windows of Yamoussoukro’s Roman Catholic basilica of Our Lady
of Peace make the most of the African sun, importing bright colours
that light up the dark wood of the interior. Said to be the largest
church in the world, it was completed in 1989 and consecrated the
following year by Pope John Paul II. The Bible
Society of Côte d’Ivoire (BSCI) is working to encourage
all Roman Catholics to have and use their own copy of the Bible.
Many Roman Catholic church leaders are strong advocates of biblical
knowledge and are working to persuade the many priests throughout
their parishes to promote Bible study and support the BSCI, especially
during Bible Week. (WR 363/19 - 10.01) |
