(RNS) Two hundred years ago, the American Bible Society was founded to distribute scriptures across the U.S. and the globe.
The society that opened its doors on May 11, 1816, moved last year from its prominent spot on Broadway in New York City to a building a block away from the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia, amid financial losses and criticism of the organization’s fundraising strategies.
