The first one had some uneven pauses between the segments, and at times appeared to accelerate or…Read more

I hope this helps!

Here are some options on my end:
1. Monday, 9/5, any time after 4 p.m. Central time/5 p.m. Eastern time;
2. Tuesday, 9/6 at 8:30 p.m. Central time/9:30 Eastern time
3. Wednesday, we could blend this week’s office hours with next week’s by meeting half an hour earlier or staying for another half hour after our regular meeting.

The typikon question aside, I can only hope that at some upcoming pan-orthodox conference someone proposes the creation of a shared document/site that lists the hymns and their (common and alternative) titles in all the different languages that the different jurisdictions practice in. Such translation…Read more

Therefore, I think the question hinges on the degree to which changes in social and material realities begin to open a gap between the document’s guidelines (and the world they originally reflected) and the structural…Read more

I just found Bishop Demetri’s text in the document hub.

Could you please direct me to that homework?

Also, you mentioned in your lecture that you can provide us with Bishop Dimitri’s translation. Where can I find that?

Many, many thanks!

Could you please provide links to those? I’d be interested to take a look. Thank you in advance!

My name is Zornitsa. I immigrated from Bulgaria in 1997. I have the 1980 edition of the Typikon of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church with me. While in the US, I attend an OCA church where I now sing in the choir. In my transition, I have struggled with the terminology in English, even if we share some terms that got adopted from Greek. To my…Read more
