Well, I'm going to get a little sidetracked. Today we talked about the spread of Orthodoxy throughout the world, so I just wanted to share a few notes from my experience at an Eastern Orthodox church a few Sundays ago:
-It was very liturgical; much more than most churches I've been to
-2/3 of the service was in Greek; perhaps that's why a lot of people showed up 1/2 way through the service, which is interesting because they had a "Church Etiquette" brochure which stressed the importance of showing up on time
-After about an hour of Greek singing, prayers and rituals, all of a sudden the priest gave about a 10 minute sermon in English and then the service was basically over after a few announcements
-I noticed that they really had a place for children in the service--as Acolytes, in communion, etc.
