The sun is shining brightly. A gentle breeze is blowing. There is a buzz among the staff. Preparations have been made for a very important occasion. Today is the dedication of the 20-millionth copy of the Bible to come off the Amity press since it started operating late in 1987.
New awnings are above the windows.
The floors have been painted. A platform has been erected on the entry steps, and potted plants arranged on it in decoration. Chairs for a good crowd have been set out. Everyone is going about their task with a sense of anticipation, which increases even more when buses arrive bringing guests from more than 20 countries. After they have each signed the guest scroll, they receive a miniature orchid.
