The article includes the "Orthodox Church of Antioch" among churches that use the Greek liturgy. I'm pretty sure that the local Antiochian Orthodox Church uses Syrian rather than Greek... aside from when they use English of course. ("local" meaning in the U.S.) Wesley 17:31 30 May 2003 (UTC)
- The Antiochian Orthodox Church's official liturgical language is Greek, however it is almost never used in actual services. Most services are conducted in the local language or in Syrian Arabic, since many Antiochian Orthodox Christians are recent immigrants. The status of Greek is similar to that of Latin in the post-Vatican II Catholic Church. The Antiochian Church is called Greek Orthodox in Syria and Lebanon. - Efghij 03:18 17 Jul 2003 (UTC)
[edit] dab style
I just removed a bunch of wikilinks and piping per MoS:DP. I left way more text than is usually proper on a dab page. Should there be a page explaining the family tree (as it were) and relationships between all these churches? That wouldn't be a dab page and would then free up this page to simply allow for disambiguating links to the "Greek Orthodox Church". Tedernst | Talk 17:01, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] a note
People who try to disambiguate pages that link here tend to do various mistakes. Please be more careful when you try to do it, or ask someone who knows more about it. Thanks. talk to +MATIA 07:14, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
