Ironic that Trinity have removed the bible considering the only thing going for them is The Book of Kells.
Will trinity need to change their name? Trinity meaning The Father .. The Son… and the Holy Spirit, maybe they should call it no hope college, r Bob hope college.
Why was it removed? Offensive to other religions? Let’s tear down every church then lest we offend anyone …
Malaysia Airlines.
Not Malaysian Airlines.
Initiative not initiate.
