The Finnish Bible Society has appointed a new CEO, welcoming Revd. Dr Petri Merenlahti to the role on June 1st

Originally a New Testament scholar, Revd. Dr Merenlahti has had a distinguished career with positions of leadership within both non-profit humanitarian and faith-based organizations – including serving as chair of Amnesty International Finland, a member of Amnesty’s International Executive Committee and a delegate in the Finnish National Human Rights Delegation.
