2004-MAR-21: CA: The Hollywood Spiritual Film and Entertainment Festival: The festival will be held from MAR-21 to SEPT-21, 2004.

Submissions will be accepted for the entire duration of the festival..." 10 |

2004-MAR-20: IA: The Christian Scriptures have been translated into American Sign Language: A group of 60 individuals at Deaf Missions have translated the Christian Scriptures (New Testament) into sign language.

They have also translated 13 of the 39 books in the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament.) 11,12 |
