BRISBANE, Australia — Churches
in East Timor have discussed their ongoing
Scripture requirements with the Rev Keith Bricknell, UBS Asia-Pacific
Program Consultant, and the Rev Dr Daud Soesilo, Asia-Pacific Regional
Translation Coordinator.
Mr Bricknell indicated that much valuable
information had been obtained about attitudes towards Bible work by
the churches during five days of meetings in January, but emphasised
that there is still considerable progress to be made in making the churches
aware of the role of a national Bible Society.
Both the Roman Catholic and Protestant Church
recognise the need for a Tetun translation of the Old Testament and Deuterocanon,
and the report produced following the visit recommends the involvement
of UBS Translation Services in developing this work. (WR368/40 - 6.02)
