Excerpt from Renderings of Church Hymns From Eastern and Western Office Books The following renderings are published, in the hope that English Churchmen may be stimulated to read the ecclesiastical books of Eastern Churches, in the original or in translations, and put their hymns into such an English form that they may be introduced into our services. The Catholic Church of Great and Greater Britain ought to give her hand to each and all of her Catholic sisters. When Christians meet together to praise God their hymns of thanksgiving and penitence are alike in unity and concord. When the Greek Catholic, the Armenian Catholic, the Roman Catholic, and the English Catholic unite in singing the same chant, listening Angels say, "Behold how these Christians are one." And so all who love unity desire that the Church of England may be in touch with every branch of the Church of God. One step towards reaching this unity would be that English sons and daughters of the Church should use in their occasional services the great hymns of the Churches of the East. Why do we not? Because we know little or nothing about them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
