More than a half a million students in the United States are expected to take part in this year’s “Bring your Bible to School day” observance.
Launched by the socially conservative group Focus on the Family in 2014, the event will take place on Thursday and is centered on students sharing their Christian faith with peers.
In a statement released Sept. 19, the Colorado Springs, Colorado-based group estimated that more than 500,000 students will participate this year.
