The Entire Bible will be Read Aloud May 1-5 on Steps of U.S. Capitol in the 27th Annual U.S. Capitol Bible Reading Marathon

Rev. Michael Hall : Apr 26, 2016  DC Bible Marathon

"So on the first day of the seventh month Ezra the priest brought the Law before the assembly, which was made up of men and women and all who were able to understand. He read it aloud from daybreak till noon as he faced the square before the Water Gate in the presence of the men, women and others who could understand. And all the people listened attentively to the Book of the Law." (Nehemiah 8:2-3)
