Very political thread, the Byzantine Empire never died. What are the political implications?
(i was going to reply to an anon in a thread about chanting in English, but the thread got deleted)
It's all in Church. We just don't have that many monasteries in English-speaking countries where monks practice them all day every day and get so good at them to record them. But if you go to an actual Orthodox monastery that does Liturgy in English, it will be the most beautiful thing you've ever heard. I'm partial to Byzantine chant because it's what we do in the Patriarchate of Antioch.
Examples:
