An Ecumenical Syrian Orthodox Vespers at Westminster Cathedral
Saturday 10th March, 2007
Subdeacon Peter Theodore Farrington was in the congregation and writes that the service was most moving. The mixed choir was beautiful and some of the solo pieces were stunning. H.E. Mor Athanasios led the Vespers with great dignity, and it was wonderful to realise that we were hearing prayers and hymns being sung in the language used by Jesus Christ Himself. There was a reception after the service but the event had been so popular that the reception room was completely packed.
