I believe that the church should not adopt a new Typikon, in the sense that a new one is created without the traditions of the Orthodox church as a guide. But based upon our modern world, where unfortunately the clock plays a big role, it would be nice to have a Typikon that lays out the full service, but also gives options for what can, or should really not be cut. If it was up to me, I would say that we should just do the full services and appreciate the beauty that has been handed down to us from our Holy Fathers. But since it is not, it would be a wonderful blessing to have a deeply researched, traditional form of the Typikon that describes how it can be adapted to different churches based upon their own ability’s.
Hello everyone!
My name is Agatha Carnazzo, I am 16 yrs old, and I have been Orthodox all my life. I lead the chanting, along with my sister Natalia, at our church St. Elias, where my father is the Priest. My whole life is centered around learning as much as I can about our rich orthodox tradition, studying rubrics, and chanting the beautiful hymns of the Apostolic church. I took this class about a year ago, and enjoyed it so much that I wanted to take it again. I am also currently taking 201.
