August 29, 2005: Anonymous Donor Gives Geneva Bible to Trinity UCC
"WAYNESBORO - An anonymous donor has given a Geneva Bible to Trinity United Church of Christ.
The only condition - that the church sell or otherwise dispose of the Bible before the end of this calendar year, with proceeds going to the general operating fund of the church.
This Bible contains 554 leaves - or pages. On "The 700 Club" broadcasts in the late 1990s, single leaves from a Geneva Bible were sold for $1,000 each. Today, individual leaves of high quality sell in galleries in New York and elsewhere for $300 to $400 apiece."
