Given there is 1m Orthodox in US and .5m in Canada (not including orientals), and CIA estimating roughly 200k in South America, with a large portion in Portugese speaking Brazil, I doubt the Spanish speaking outnumber the English speaking. Even in Latin America, I think immigrant descent probably outnumber indigenous.

And if the chants don't work or don't sound right in English, write new ones. Then we can negotiate the pay-offs to the Mother Churches and get about electing a Metropolitan for North America (Central and South America are separate cultural entities and should have their own Spanish-speaking Metropolitan(s)). <br /><br />(There will never be any more Patriarchs, so Metropolitan is a good title).The Anti-Gnostichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04386593803225823789noreply@blogger.com
