Yesterday I started a new Facebook page, La Sankta Biblio. It's similar to Facebook pages like The Bible or Jesus Christ or Soldiers of Christ, only it's in the international language Esperanto.
The mission of La Sankta Biblio is to encourage study and reading of the Esperanto translation of the Bible by Esperanto speaking Christians and Jews, and to encourage international religious fellowship using Esperanto.
It is also an outreach to Esperanto speakers who would NOT normally touch a Bible or be receptive to what the Bible teaches, but take an interest in the Esperanto translation purely for cultural and linguistic reasons. (The Old Testament of the Esperanto Bible was translated by Zamenhof, the creator of Esperanto, and has been used as an example of good language usage.) Can not God use this to touch a soul?
What I'd REALLY like is for all my blog readers to run out, buy an Esperanto Bible, spend a couple weeks to learn Esperanto, and volunteer to become co-admins of the page.
What I'll settle for is if a few kind souls would visit the new page, like it, perhaps even share it.

That's very cool. I "liked" your new page on FB. :)
Wow, the word verification of the day is "fundazi"
Fundazi --- might be a good name for a cat. (Still have a couple of unnamed barn kittens.)
Thanks for 'liking' the page. I'm up to twelve likes now and only 2 of them are me.
(Note to the world: If you are wondering what my secret alias is, it's NOT Amanda Borenstadt. Really. I absolutely deny it. For the record.)
If I was your alias you could have given me a more awesome alias name, like "Star Wonder." (I just got that from a super hero random name generator. LOL)
Or at least the newest word verification, which would also be a good kitten name, "moutspaz." It nearly sounds like "mouse pads," but not quite. Weird.
