Our take: The U.K.'s Bible Society is encouraging people to send handwritten "thank you" letters to people who have been a blessing to them. The inspiration comes from the "Year of Jubilee," an ancient Hebrew tradition in the Bible that says every 49 years there must be a time of forgiving all debts and wrongs.

Hundreds of Christians have pledged to hand write a 'thank you' letter in the year of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.

The Bible Society's Diamond Geezer campaign is encouraging people to think about who they are indebted to their 'diamond geezer'.

The campaign reflects the meaning of Jubilee in the Bible, a special year when wrongs were forgiven and debts written off.

The diamond geezer could be an old school teacher, a friend who was faithful in prayer, or someone who showed kindness or helped in some way.
