I also believe that I come from as strong a Greek background as most in this community. However, I was not afforded the ability to speak, read or understand the Greek language by sheer birth alone nor from my forefathers as some others were. This leaves me with a lack of understanding a good portion of our services and I fully rely on "greeklish" to learn words and more study to learn the meaning of those words. <BR/><BR/>I will gladly stand with the silent majority as you called it to defend and maintain the integrity of our community as is (two churches one parish). <BR/><BR/>I will also stand alongside parishioners like my husband who do not speak Greek or who not were born of Greek decent but are equally important to this community by Faith, volunteerism and other community groups. <BR/><BR/>We all need to be fed spirtually and in a language we can understand as well as work together in the spirit of love and understanding to make our parish stronger. <BR/><BR/>Regardless of how this all plays out we will always be one community!Paula Saltas Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04500302374220502695noreply@blogger.com
