Background
A direct outgrowth
of the world's first Bible Society founded in England less than two decades earlier, the Pennsylvania Bible Society broke
ground in America for the many state societies which shortly followed in its footsteps. In a true sense, the bicentennial
of PBS is also the 200 year celebration of the start of the Bible movement in America which aimed to give to each person who
wanted it, access to Holy Scripture, free of note or comment, at an affordable cost, or free of charge to those who couldn't
afford it.

Celebration
Our bicentennial will aim to
gather on a single day of celebration leaders of the various Christian Churches, federal, state and city government officials,
representatives of the state and national Bible Societies, and members of the general public.
The celebration will recognize the spiritual, cultural as well as civic and educational benefits the Bible has
bestowed upon our City, our State, and our Nation. We will petition these branches of government to declare BIBLE DISCOVERY
DAY IN AMERICA.
