WASHINGTON – Congressman Robert Pittenger (NC-09) has introduced a bipartisan resolution recognizing the grand opening of the Museum of the Bible.

This bipartisan resolution recognizes the opening of the Museum of the Bible – the first, and only, museum exclusively dedicated to God’s Word,” said Congressman Pittenger. “This museum gives people of all faiths a unique opportunity engage with the Bible and immerse themselves in its history, teachings and societal impact. In the coming weeks, I look forward to visiting the Museum to learn more about the text that has had such a profound impact on my life and the lives of countless others.”

  • The Museum of the Bible, located in Washington, D.C., opens this Friday, November 17th, 2017.
  • Dr. Tony Zeiss, the Executive Director of the Museum, is former President of Central Piedmont Community College in Charlotte, North Carolina.
  • The Museum is non-sectarian and non-political.

The House version of this resolution, introduced Monday by Congressman Pittenger, is currently co-sponsored by Democrat Rep. Cleaver (MO-05) as well as Republicans Rep. Hudson (NC-08), Rep. Lamalfa (CA-01), Rep. Aderholt (AL-04), Rep. Walberg (MI-07), Rep. Flores (TX-17), Rep. Jones (NC-03), Rep. Harper (MS-03), Rep. Poliquin (ME-02), Rep. Johnson (LA-04), Rep. Lamborn (CO-05).
