Bible goes mobile with pay-per-verse
A new text message service launched yesterday in Sydney allows mobile phone users to receive Bible passages direct to their handsets, according to News.com.
The project – Daily Verse SMS – was developed by religious group Church Resources along with the Bible Society in Australia.
It aims to bring "prayerful reflection" into people's daily lives, Church Resources chief executive Father Michael Kelly said.
