Synod: An ecumenical splash as special Bible is presented to pope
By JOHN L. ALLEN JR.
Rome
Since the Bible is shared by all Christians, there?s a natural ecumenical dimension to this Synod of Bishops. That aspect was symbolized this morning by the presentation of a special-edition, multi-lingual Bible to Pope Benedict XVI published by the American Bible Society, an inter-denominational group based in the United States devoted to publishing and distributing the Bible around the world.
