Summary: Display bible texts on church services

Initial Comment:
Hello. I've been searching long time for an app who can display on a dual monitor bible texts or other commentaries, etc. The only one for Linux is Lyricue, but they don't have more bible versions. I'm from Romania, others are from different countries and do not use english version on the Bible. I think bibletime is perfect for that, because use sword and has a lot of translations of the bible. I want to propose you to include some options, because I think bibletime can be used even in churches not only in our personal studies. I think this would be a great tool and a great help for everyone who use Linux in church and need a presentation software for bible verses. Thank you, and I hope this idea can be added soon into your great program. God bless you!

look at Opensong (http://www.opensong.org)  It works pretty good. The only
issue I ran into is that it wants to index everything multiple times, so if
you load in all the songs available, the response time gets really really
poor.   As long as you keep only a few bibles and the churches repetoire of
songs loaded, it works well in linux.  Oh, I also haven't been able to get
images into the background... but for displaying songs and bible scripture
it works well. 

Note that it doesn't work very well in 'realtime' mode... you need a
prepared plan to work from that doesn't change.
