Was speaking at staff devotions at the Bible Society of India today (Thursday). Am speaking again to another group in another building tomorrow.
Next to the Government of India the Bible Society of India are the biggest publishers in this vast sub continent. They publish bibles and scriptures in 200 Indian languages and dialects and they employ some 500 staff. This is the office I visited today on the Mahatma Gandhi Road in Bangalore. It's called "Logos".
Tomorrow I visit another one called "The William Carey Building". Lilian's maiden name is Carey and she is related to the famous missionary to India.

On the ground floor of the Logos building is an impressive Bible exhibition showing the development of the Bible as we have it today and I was conducted around it by a full time guide and curator. They have, as part of their exhibition, William Carey's first translation of scripture into Bengali in 1807 and some of his original letters as well as lots of amazing stuff. They have Bibles from all over the world there. Even saw a Bible in Irish, something I've yet to see in Ireland!

This is me being introduced to Dr. Pramanik, the director of the Bible Society in India, who runs a pretty tight ship! All the office staff stop work and stand to their feet when he enters a room. He keeps introducing me to his staff as the "Reverend Doctor Lindsay Allen"! I haven't had the courage yet to correct him!
