Asian Catholic Communicators support

" May They Be One"

The Episcopal Commsision for the Biblical Apostolate (ECBA) of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) is leading the “ May they Be One Bible” campaign in partnership with the Asian Catholic Communicators Inc. (ACCI), Philippine Bible Society (PBS) and other churches.

This five-year nationwide program (2009-2013) aims to put a Bible in every home and encourage Filipinos to read and live the Bible resulting in the transformation of the Philippines.

May They Be One is our response to the prayer of Christ for all His children to 'be one,' (John 17.21) since unity is vital for making the Word of God accessible, understandable, respected and lived. Itis also a call for oneness in individuals, families, and communities resulting in unity among various sectors in working for national transformation.
