It’s been going on for centuries. If you knew the original words to some of our best loved hymns, it would stop you singing them for ever. As William Booth said “Why should the devil have all the best tunes?”

The only thing that I can think of that Luther got right is that he set his hymns to tavern drinking songs, because people could sing them an knew the tu he . . .

Not sure what “flavor” of EC you are (I know we have some Italo-Greeks and Ge’ez out in Vegas), but you may have heard one variant of “Many years!” popular in the Carpatho-Rusyn tradition. It was set to the melody of “How Dry I Am …”

Enjoy!

I agree, that’s why I asked about the reaction from the others in attendance.
Perhaps it would be appropriate with a bunch of old rockers.

You’re missing the point I just made. It wouldn’t have been appropriate with any group of people.

Don’t agree. People are moved by many types of music. The flexibility to be able to choose music that will best meet and move people were they are is part of evangelization and a blessing within the structure of the mass.

The Metropolia Formerly Known as Ruthenian 🙂

We have a parish, and the Italo-Greek parish is part of our Eparchy. There’s a Maronite parish that still labels itself a mission and a Chaldean mission or parish. I think it was the Ethiopians who lost their priest a couple years ago.

There’s also a virtual mission up on Mt. Charleston, the Latin dioces renting from the Greco-Italo (the only biritual mission int the US, I’ve been told).

There is also a Greek Orthodox parish, another Orthodox (OCA, I think), and an Armenian Apostolic here.
