ReplyDeleteIt is Cypriot people that convince me that this is a waste of time. I heard several years ago about Cypriot boy scouts at a world jamboree. An OCA priest was doing a liturgy as one of the chaplains and he announced beforehand he didn't know any language but English. He said the Cypriot boys were delighted. They said they knew English but DID NOT know the Greek they heard regularly back home. Another time I read a woman from Cyprus in comments on a blog, asking if anyone knew where she could obtain an English liturgy book so she would have some chance of following the all Greek liturgy. Greeks don't know Greek. Not even in Greece. Certainly nowhere else. This narrator talking about how "essential" it is to know Greek is less than useless.
