The news: Klaus Krogh, co-founder of graphic design firm 2K/Denmark, passed away on October 6 at age 74. Over more than four decades, Krogh developed typefaces and layouts specifically designed to make Bibles more beautiful, readable, and accessible — including for people with dyslexia. His work appears in Bible editions distributed around the world.

Why it matters for church leaders: In India, where literacy levels, language diversity, and visual impairments present real barriers to Scripture access, Krogh's life is a powerful reminder that Bible accessibility is a ministry issue — not just a publishing one. Churches that invest in accessible Scripture materials, regional language Bibles, and audio options are removing real barriers to faith.

The takeaway: Audit your church's Scripture resources this week — do you have Bibles or materials available for members with low literacy, visual impairment, or regional language needs?
