[Perhaps it's just me, but I don't like broadcasting addresses overly. If you are willing to make a donation, please click through to the source for the full address. Traditional Anglican ping list members might recognize the name; he's an active maintainer of the (Anglican) Stand Firm blogs (MS, LA, AL and WV), as well as the excellent Southern Anglican blog. --sionnsar]

I think they'd rather have food, water and clothing at this point.

Well, maybe they have edible bibles? I remember seeing a liquor flask made in the shape of a book, so one could address the need for water in this fashion as well.

I heard that the people at the astrodome are also asking for bibles. after they get food, that's their first request.

Some reporter on the news tonight said bibles were the second most requested item, right after water. Of course, this request was from people who are now at the Astrodome, so I think they are getting food now.

To whom how. Rabelais' Friar Jean, for example, had his flask in place of a religious book, and called it "vademecum" - thus the idea is not in the least new and has a long pedigree. I, for one, would welcome a book-shaped flask of something fortifying.

Thanks for posting this. Perhaps that is something our church should do for the refugees coming here.

Well, to tell the truth, I don't even like the whiskies, either blended or single malt, preferring to raise my spirituality to 86+proof blood level using good old brandies, 10-20 years old and better. Why, it is so spiritually uplifting that I even remember speaking in tongues on occasion. What better could one ask for?

Our homeschool group could probably round up a number of Bibles. Who is Greg Griffith and where will these Bibles go, specifically?

I just checked the Gideons website to see what they were doing to get Bibles to refugees, but their "Hurricane Katrina" link is broken.

Our homeschool group could probably round up a number of Bibles. Who is Greg Griffith and where will these Bibles go, specifically? Greg Griffith is an orthodox (evangelical, I believe) Episcopalian who is not far away in Jackson. He is also the maintainer of several of the Stand Firm in Faith websites (WV, LA, AL, MS), author of all, and the blogger of Southern Anglican. (The links to all these are on the page in my tagline.)
I do not know specifically where the Bibles will go, and I do not have an e-mail address, but you can click through to Southern Anglican and ask him directly.
