		<description>Christ is Risen!
Just imagine the impact this type of service would make on our African-American brothers and sisters. Oerthodoxy would become an integral part of the culture... for sure!</description>

		<description>Christos Anesti!!!
&#160;
Loved the video from Africa!!! Showed it to my daughter Elisha.&#160; She loved it too!

	About the organs in the church, I&#039;ve heard it may not be canonically correct to have organs, but I grew up in churches that had the choirs being led by the electric organ, and I really loved it.&#160; I think a lot of people also like it very much.&#160; And it made me learn the church hymns and fall in love with the church hymns.&#160; 
What the Greek Orthodox churches in this area of New York City used to do when I was growing up, is have the chanters chant in the first liturgy Sunday morning, and then the second liturgy on Sunday morning would be sung by the choir.
Also, it&#039;s a change from the chanting, which, by the way, I don&#039;t think the chanting is always done correctly.&#160; For example, I&#039;ve heard it said that it should be more lively, not like a slow... slow... slow ....drawn out chant.&#160;&#160; And that&#039;s why I love the Russian chant.&#160; It&#039;s very lively.
&#160;
I&#039;m sorry.&#160; I don&#039;t mean to offend anyone who chants.&#160; May God forgive&#160; me and may He bless us all to love the Church and serve the Lord in ways that are pleasing to Him.
&#160;
And it is very interesting to see that different countries sing or chant their Orthodox Church hymns in their own style and according to their culture.&#160; It&#039;s beautiful.
&#160;
Thanks, Father Seraphim and the whole congregation of St. Nicholas Mckinney, for sharing your Youtubes.&#160; May Christ our God be with you all and bless you all and your church.</description>

		<description>&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Christ is risen!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Psalm 150 ...Praise Him with trumpet sound; praise Him with harp and lyre. Praise Him with timbrel and dancing; praise Him with stringed instruments and pipe. Praise Him with loud cymbals; praise Him with resounding cymbals....&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Thus speaks the Holy Spirit!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
