It's a very difficult question because there are so many. Its like asking, which pile of dung stinks the most. I have one that's probably a candidate. Its from Oxford University press, New Testament and Psalms. Its a total corruption of the word of God. Uses things like God our Father/Mother. I bought it just for laughs and to show people how bad some corruptions are. I used to have just the Gospel of Luke written in kind of southern cajun redneck lingo, but I got rid of it somewhere along the way.

Conservative Bibles are just as a corrupt, and if translations can be corrupt, it pretty much disproves the stupid notion of the Bible being the inerrant, infallible Word of God.

Well, since you've proved in previous posts that your knowledge of the Episcopal Church is non-existent (For your reference: http://www.city-data.com/forum/chris...l#post25323046), I'm not sure why you even weigh in on threads like this.

Back to the OP. The Episcopal Church does not have an official Bible. Such choices are pretty much left to the individual parishes. As a result, you'll see the KJV in some (Riddled as it is with translational errors), the Oxford in others.
