I've got to tell you as an Orthodox Christian, that this idea is a complete non-starter. The Orthodox Churches will never agree on an English translation of the Bible that doesn't reflect their understanding of the meaning of the canonical texts. Whether this ESV would do so, I don't know. But I'd be very surprised to hear that it does.

I'm an interpreter for the deaf for church services, and during my preparation, I study the upcoming scripture readings in several different translations. When translating English into American Sign Language, I've found that the more ways in which I can see how a passage can be rendered in English, the better I can aid the deaf worshiper in grasping God's word.
