There is no way that a blog [...]

Translators or Missionaries

by Eddie 09.07.2010

The Denver Post recently had an article on Bible Translation which went on to appear all over the internet including on at least one British Website. I did think about commenting on some of the issues that the article raised, but decided not to. However, today I noticed that Daniel Midgely (who describes himself as [...]

Frustration!

by Eddie 03.02.2010

How on earth do we get Bible translation onto the agenda of the church in the UK? There are still 300,000,000  people without a word of Scripture available to them – but it’s ever so hard to make people in the UK aware of this. Let me give you an example. Gordon Kennedy, who is [...]

Is Faster Always Better?

by Eddie 30.01.2010

Ours is an instant age. We move quickly and we want to have instant access to our money, to music and to people. But is faster always better? What about when it comes to Bible translation?

Why I believe in language development

It is often pointed out that Wycliffe Bible Translators is not an accurate name for our organisation, because we do far more than Bible Translation. We have staff involved in language survey, literacy, and a host of other roles which fall under the broad heading of language development. However, it is sometimes suggested that language [...]

From Burkina and Ivory Coast

by Eddie 03.08.2009

I’ve come across a couple of good pieces from West Africa today.  Jayne Chuter has just returned from a Wycliffe Engage Trip to Burkina Faso and has written a fascinating account.

The Latest Wycliffe UK Magazine.

by Eddie 04.03.2009

“All peoples will be blessed through you,” (Gen 12:3) God promised Abraham—that is, through Christ—and through us, as we deliver this message! But how can 200 million people in 2,393 language groups still without the Scriptures enjoy God’s blessing? God gave Wycliffe a vision in 1999: Bible translation started in every language by 2025.

Seeing With Fresh Eyes

by Eddie 11.02.2009

Sue and I have been members of Wycliffe for over twenty years now and we are so familiar with the organisation that it is hard to imagine how it must appear to those who don’t know it so well. It is fascinating to see how our good friend Phil, who has recently come to work [...]
