Former Australian Governor-General, Sir William Deane, will participate in officially opening a garden with 148 plants represented in The Bible in the grounds of Charles Sturt University’s (CSU) Australian Centre for Christianity and Culture (ACCC) in Canberra at 2pm on Sunday 3 August. ACCC Director and Chairman of the Global Network for Public Theology (GNPT), the Reverend Professor James Haire, said that the ‘Bible Garden’ was established with a benevolent grant from The Bible Garden Trust, a perpetual trust established by the late Mr Gerald Hercules Robinson. “The aims to create and maintain gardens that featured the botany that is described in the Holy Bible, and through this activity to educate Christians, particularly young Christians, in the Scriptures. The shape of the garden resembles The Menorah, which is said to represent the burning bush where Moses saw the angel who told him to lead the Israelites to the land of milk and honey.” Construction of the garden commenced in 2007 and final planting is due to be completed before Spring 2008.
