The equivalent book for the ELCA and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada (ELCIC) is Evangelical Lutheran Worship. The ESV is somewhat more conservative than the NRSV, and was adopted by the LCMS as the official Bible text for the Lutheran Service Book, the most recent hymnal and liturgy for the LCMS and the Lutheran Church - Canada (LCC). The synods are grouped into nine regions, which are points of connection for them and the churchwide organization. Our smallest synod has 30 congregations the largest nearly 300. The ELCAs 65 synods vary greatly in size, geography, membership, staffing and program. Both of these translations are derived from the National Council of Churches' Revised Standard Version (RSV) translation, as updated in 1971. We are a church that believes God is calling us into the world together. Daily Discipleship is based on the Gospel Lesson and Daily Faith Practices is based on the Second Lesson. The ministry of the team happens in a variety of contexts, but not limited to clusters of congregations, synods, seminaries, etc. Daily Discipleship and Daily Faith Practices are online downloadable Bible studies based on the lectionary used at Sunday worship. The ELCA Lutheran Study Bible uses the National Council of Churches' New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) translation, and the LCMS uses Crossway Bibles' English Standard Version (ESV) translation. There is a team (lay and clergy) in the ELCA who are passionate about renewing the ELCA through prayer, renewal events, prayer services, workshops, and Lutheran revivals. Each of these groups publishes a Lutheran Study Bible through their respective publishing arms, Augsburg Fortress for the ELCA and Concordia for the LCMS. The two largest Lutheran church groups in the United States are the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) and the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod (LCMS). The Five Gifts of Discipleship resources highlight the current Faith Practices of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, and offer not only bible studies.
