 âPeople are like you and I the world over, we have the same aspirations and
   the same thoughts. People are pretty much the same the world over.â â
                        Kenneth Kruger, Rogers, Ark.

British Methodists transcribing Bible by hand

   MANCHESTER, England (UMNS) -- In an age when a hand-written letter is an
   increasingly scarce commodity, British Methodists have pledged to 
transcribe
   all 66 books of the Bible by hand during the first five months of this 
year.
   The âWritten by Hand, Taken to Heartâ national initiative is part of the
   denominationâs recognition of the 400th anniversary of the publication of
   the King James Bible. The hope is that people of all ages who are 
unfamiliar
   with the Bible, as well as those who know it well, will encounter the
   Bibleâs stories, poetry and teachings in a new way.

BBC puts focus on King James Bible

   MANCHESTER, England (UMNS) â Four hundred years later, the King James 
Bible
   still  has  resonance  in  everyday  life. That is why the anniversary
   celebration of its publication warrants extensive coverage, says 
Christine
   Morgan, Methodist lay preacher and head of radio for the BBCâs Religion 
and
   Ethics Department. The UKâs major publicly funded broadcaster has devoted
   significant broadcast resources and air time to programming about the 
King
   James Bible.

King James Bible: How it changed the way we speak

   LONDON â The impact of the King James Bible, first published in 1611, is
   still being felt in the way we speak and write, the BBC reports. âNo 
other
   book, or indeed any piece of culture, seems to have influenced the 
English
   language as much as the King James Bible. Its turns of phrase have 
permeated
   the everyday language of English speakers, whether or not they've ever
   opened a copy.â Linguist David Crystal counts 257 phrases from the King
   James Bible in contemporary English idiom, according to the BBC.

Man begins mission work at age 90

   ROGERS, Ark. (UMNS) â At a time in life when many may choose to take 
things
   easy, Kenneth Kruger was up for a new challenge: going on an 
international
   mission  trip. In fact, since turning 90, the member of Central United
   Methodist Church has taken three such tripsâto Chile, Belize and Costa 
Rica,
   along with an excursion to Israel. âI like to see whatâs over the next
   hill,â Kruger said.
