Question about English (US)
We're having a special program at church today. A few people stand in the front of the chapel and read a few chapters from the Bible about the birth of Jesus Christ. And the audience listen to those people reading them. What do you call the activity? "We're having a recitation from the Bible today"??? Please help me!
