They would seem to provide some checks and balances, given the typical of disparate theological traditions represented in Christendom. If only we could bring together committees when doing theology and developing doctrine "for the Church." It is interesting that there is an apparent ecumenism with translation teams, and not so much when it comes to arguing over the finer points of Christian doctrine. Anyway, given the reality of "interpretive decisions" when doing translation; I am more comfortable with committees (I think Paul's "body" analogy could be used here, in favor of commmittees).
