Melchoir, I would question the 'Categories' assignment. Is there a better category such as Christianity: Bible (or :Bible distributors)? Although the Local Church uses this Recovery Version Bible heavily and it is--for whatever reason--associated with this group (although not exclusively), the BfA supporters and volunteers come from many varied Christian backgrounds, including Local Church members. Buried on their [http://www.biblesforamerica.org/waystodonate/ ways to donate] page is the following statement:

[[Charles Dickens]]'s novel '''''[[Our Mutual Friend]]''''' ([[1864]] - [[1865]]) was adapted as a [[BBC]] miniseries in 1998.

:''Bibles for America (BfA) is a nonprofit organization funded solely by the contributions of individuals, which are tax-deductible according to Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3). An independent Board of Directors governs major financial decisions."

==Plot summary==

:"To best fulfill our mission, we allow no organizational or financial ties and accept only "no strings attached" contributions. All donations are appreciated and are used solely for the purpose of distributing Bibles and Christian literature.''

==Awards==

Their History, Programs, and BfA Affiliates pages also do not show any Local Church linkage; as such, wouldn't it seem less appropriate to use 'Category: Local Church' than one such as 'Category: Bible Distributors'? [[User:ECGtertius|ECGtertius]] 00:09, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
