New Lutheran

[JToth]

Hi all,

If any of you read my post in the general Lutheran area, you will know I am a new Lutheran coming over from Catholicism. I recently asked about what version of the bible is used by Lutherans and I received some mixed answers. Some people said the LCMS uses the English Standard Version (which I have) and some said that it is ultimately up to the individual. Now since there is a shortage of LCMS congregations where I am and plan on relocating in a couple of years, I am considering going to an ELCA congregation. Now my question is what version of the Bible does the ELCA use. Is it up to the individual?

Thanks,
Joe

Most ELCA congregations will use the NRSV for liturgical readings on Sundays. When it comes to what Bible members use, it's up to the individual.
