"Churches Challenged to Read Bible Cover-to-Cover"

Honestly, us catholics should do the same:

CWR, the ministry of Selwyn Hughes, is inviting hundreds of churches across the United Kingdom to rise to the challenge of reading the whole Bible cover-to-cover throughout 2009.

The call follows the successful pilot run of CWR’s new Bible reading scheme, Cover to Cover Complete, in 62 churches this year. CWR hopes the 2009 scheme will reverse the prevailing culture of Bible illiteracy that has crept into society as well as churches. (Christian Post)

Back when a bible was often one of the only books a family in America would own, biblical literacy was astonishingly widespread. There's no reason we can't reclaim that level of familiarity. I have not read the entire bible from cover-to-cover, but I hope to do so before I die, and actually before I am 30.
