Moravian Church in Newfoundland and Labrador: Official launch of the Inuktitut Bible (part 2)

Thursday, 12 March 2009

Official launch of the Inuktitut Bible (part 2)

The second half of the celebration was held in the church annex. Hilda Lyall started things off by lighting the kudlik, a traditional Inuit stone lamp, which in the past would have contained seal oil for burning.

Sabina Hunter, coordinator for the Inuktitut Bible Project, introduced and thanked members of the Canadian Bible Society: Hart Wiens, Ed Peters, and national director Ted Seres.

A box of Bibles was presented to a representative from each of the four Moravian congregations.

Sr Joan Andersen
Chair person of the Labrador Province
