Talk: Greek Orthodox Church

From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.

The article includes the "Orthodox Church of Antioch" among churches that use the Greek liturgy. I'm pretty sure that the local Antiochian Orthodox Church uses Syrian rather than Greek... aside from when they use English of course. ("local" meaning in the U.S.) Wesley 17:31 30 May 2003 (UTC)

The Antiochian Orthodox Church's official liturgical language is Greek, however it is almost never used in actual services. Most services are conducted in the local language or in Syrian Arabic, since many Antiochian Orthodox Christians are recent immigrants. The status of Greek is similar to that of Latin in the post-Vatican II Catholic Church. The Antiochian Church is called Greek Orthodox in Syria and Lebanon. - Efghij 03:18 17 Jul 2003 (UTC)
