Mayor Tom Hayden made the announcement at a city council meeting, but said it was “an action taken by him” and not a municipal order.
The mayor of a Dallas suburb named 2014 "the year of the Bible" in a December city council meeting.
"I hope to be able to share the good news with others," Flower Mound, Texas, Mayor Tom Hayden told NBC's local affiliate.
There is also a website run by the Calvary Chapel Church in Flower Mound to coincide with Hayden's proclamation.
"[Mayor Hayden's] desire was bring our town back to a Biblical foundation which our country was founded and built upon. His vision is that as a Town, as many as wanted to participate, would as a community read through the entire Bible in a year together. With much prayer going into this endeavor we are excited to launch this website as a connecting point to fulfill the Mayor's vision."
