Bible Society NSW is an Australian Bible society, formed through an Act of the Parliament of New South Wales in 1817 and was known as the NSW auxiliary of the British and Foreign Bible Society (founded in London 1804). The Society's charter was signed by Governor Lachlan Macquarie.
Bible Society NSW is part of the worldwide fellowship of the United Bible Societies, and has its offices in Macquarie Park, north-west of Sydney's CBD. The organisation moved there from its now heritage listed building in Bathurst Street, Sydney, in 2004.
The Society's CEO is the Reverend Daniel Willis, who took up the position in late 2001.
Famous quotes containing the word society:
“Every society consists of men in the process of developing from children into parents. To assure continuity of tradition, society must early prepare for parenthood in its children; and it must take care of the unavoidable remnants of infantility in its adults. This is a large order, especially since a society needs many beings who can follow, a few who can lead, and some who can do both, alternately or in different areas of life.”
—Erik H. Erikson (1904–1994)
