What mother tongue? Is it Aramaic? Greek? Russian? Serbian? There is no such thing as a sacred language and your comment stands in complete opposition to the history and mind of the Church. You are wrong! Remember, ethnophyletism is a heresy. English is the native tongue of this parish and they're right to use it. On the day of Pentecost all languages were heard! Thank the Lord the Holy Apostles didn't have your mindset.
@GodsHerosGodsHeros Saint Andrew's isn't Greek; it's part of the OCA, which has a Russian background, so should they speak in Church Slavonic? In fact, you should look into the lives of Saints Cyril and Methodius or even the work of St. Herman of Alaska.
@@christopherr4043Amen to that. The Orthodox Church has always taught in the language of the people, which is why the Antiochian church uses Arabic, the Albanian church uses Albanian, the OCA uses English, Church Slavonic, Romanian, Albanian and Native Alaskan, the Serbians use Church Slavonic and Serbian, and so on. Of course this includes Greek where Greek is spoken, but even here, the Koine Greek of the New Testament and the Byzantine Greek of the liturgical service books is seldom what is preached in the vernacular.
They look so ridiculous when English comes out instead of the mother tongue of the church ⛪️
