Despite the fact that I'd very much like to have an LDS edition of the NRSV as soon as yesterday, there's another approach that the Church could take in the meantime.
Some churches have authorized study bibles. These bibles are not primarily for use during Sunday services (although, in my experience, they make the occasional appearance), but they do have the official stamp of approval for personal use. LDS Bible scholars already use many different English translations (which is to say nothing of their work in the Greek and Hebrew), and it would be nice for this practice to get a nod that would encourage others too.
