"I don't mind if you guys want to speak in tongues; but the Scripture says there must be an interpreter, also."

Ah, another one who is unlettered in the theological Mother Tongues of Christian theology, even second tier Latin! Elsie, had you not come into the conversation I was having with Harley, Kosta and Mark in media res, as they say, you'd know that I, in my post to Mark, was translating an English phrase, a prayer really, which in turn, and in conformity to the rules of the forum designed to set at ease the paranoia so rampant on these threads that we Orthodox or Latins might be saying something unflattering about the heterodox, was a translation of two beautiful and identical prayers in Greek and Church Slavonic. Follow my post which you were responding to back three posts and you'll see the English. :)

You're just saying that because Greek is the first language of the Church. I cannot take umbrage at that because Latin is the second tier, true. But I can beat you at skeet shooting, so there.

Elsie, had you not come into the conversation....

...there would be a series lack of humor and sarcasm in this thread.
