| Dr. Rudi Zimmer and Rev. Dieter Joel Jagnow |
The Executive Secretary of the Sociedade Bíblica do Brasil (Bible Society of Brazil), Dr. Rudi Zimmer, the Social Communication Secretary, Dr. Erni Seiber, and the Regional Secretary for Rio de Janeiro, Mr. Adílio José Emerich, took part in the 59th National Conference of the IELB representing the SBB. Zimmer talked about the participation of Lutherans in the entity and of the great success of this partnership. Zimmer and the Editor of the IELB, Rev. Dieter Joel Jagnow, introduced the Lutheran Hymnal with the Holy Bible in it. The book has the complete text of the Bible, the Lutheran Liturgy and the 573 hymns of the official Hymnal of the church. The hymn 247, Santa Bíblia, meu prazer", was sung, and then, at the end of the hymn, Dr. Zimmer gave two of the books to the new president of the church, Rev. Paulo Moisés Nerbas. All the participants of the National Conference received one of the hymnals in the moment they signed up for the Conference. This precious book is available at Editora Concórdia (www.editoraconcordia.com.br). "We are truly happy with the partnership of the SBB and of the IELB", concluded Dr. Zimmer. |
