33rd annual National Bible Reading Marathon kicks off this weekend
May 1, 2022 | District of Columbia
The 33rd annual National Bible Reading Marathon will kick off this weekend, where volunteers will read the entire Bible for nearly four days straight.
The 2022 National Bible Reading Marathon, a project of Seedline International, will kick off Saturday at 2 p.m. Eastern time. Beginning with the book of Genesis, volunteers will read every word of the Bible at the Faith and Liberty headquarters in Washington, D.C., located near the United States Supreme Court. The event will continue through Wednesday with the reading of Revelation.
In an interview with The Christian Post, Keith Davidson, the director of Seedline International, said the National Bible Reading Marathon is usually held at the West Terrace of the U.S. Capitol. However, amid the coronavirus pandemic and following concerns about safety after the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, the National Bible Reading Marathon was forced to seek an alternate venue for the last two years. And this year, organizers said they were “not able to get the consecutive event letter from Congress” that is a prerequisite for holding such an event.
As with the previous two years, people will have the option to participate in the National Bible Reading Marathon virtually. The entire event will be streamed live on Seedline International’s YouTube channel. Davidson estimated that between 40% and 45% of the readers will participate virtually this year….
