On-Screen Bible problem

Kyle Williams

Hello,

I am very pleased with the On-Screen bible feature that was recently added in Proclaim, but I have run across a small issue with it. According to copyright laws, I believe that all churches are required to show the version from which the Scriptures are quoted (when visually displayed). So when we use the On-Screen Bible feature to do our Scripture reading, we do not have the option of showing the version, only choosing which version to display. The normal Bible feature gives one the option already.

Here is the site where I found the copyright info:

Please let me know if I am mistaken by giving me a link to the correct copyright laws, or if a fix is on its way. This may not seem like a big deal, but we try to follow copyright and other laws to the best of our ability. 

Thanks!

Kyle

We don't show the translation on any of our bible slides. 

I will run this by our developers for review.

Any word on this yet?

Also, this is a small thing as well, but I noticed that the on-screen Bible feature says "Psalms X:xx" instead of "Psalm". I don't mean at the book intro part (which should read "Psalms"), but under the text where the passage is listed. Since it is referencing one it should read "Psalm".

We've decided to make showing the Bible version an option for On-Screen Bible, similar to how Bible service items handle this. Thanks for the additional bug report. Both fixes should be available in the next major release, currently planned for Jan 27.
