I have to wonder if the lack of interest in denominations declaring a preferred or official version has anything to do with the Church giving over the responsibility of Bibles to committees instead of keeping the responsibility in the Church.
Thoughts?

Is it the church's responsibility? Wouldn't they commission their own version, then?

It certainly falls to the Session to determine the time of worship, but the parts of worship are the minister's responsibility.
