There’s so many dimensions of the American story and we’re just contributing one.The founder of Christian Apostles recently explored the spiritual wonders of the brand new Museum of the Bible, located in the heart of Washington, DC. “That’s the dimension of the American story that we’re highlighting. “We’re bringing to light the influence of the Scriptures and faith on our nation from its founding through to today, looking into the lives of people … but also historic moments in the history of our country,” he said. But “the Bible did not play the outsize role that they are trying to give it.”Īlthough the Bible Society has taken a decidedly evangelical turn in recent years, and although museum employees are required to sign an affirmation of Biblical faith (which includes affirmation that marriage is between a man and a woman), Murdock said the center does not engage in proselytization. “It’s not that history isn’t relevant,” noted Marci Hamilton, a professor and constitutional scholar at the University of Pennsylvania.

So the things that you’ve been collecting you’ll be able to dock your lamp onto one of those kiosks.
“We’ve actually established what we think is the first in the industry of a maker space. “We’re actually able to walk through portals of history, using your lamp, and some other fun things along the way, and then right there is where you come out to the retail store,” he said at the end of the tour. He characterized the data as “depersonalized” and used only in exhibition planning and in the retail transactions involving the creation of posters, personalized totes, and other collectibles and mementos at the maker space and gift shop. Located on Independence Mall in the Old City neighborhood, the immersive and interactive attraction allows visitors to explore the relationship between faith. Murdock said the center does not retain any personalized data that visitors may gather during a visit.
