Bible Society Australia (BSA) has appointed long‑serving mission leader, Chris Melville, as its new Chief Executive Officer following an extensive independent recruitment process. Melville has served with Bible Society Australia for 21 years, becoming a specialist in the core mission of Bible Society, translating, producing and distributing Bibles. His appointment can be read as a signal that the Bible Society is strongly focused on its traditional aims. But Melville is aware that people are reading the Bible in new and different means. “We’re excited to see how BSA’s mission continues to grow under Chris’s leadership.”Image: Chris Melville (suited) at an ADF Bible event.
