Yes, that's one thing I'm fond of - when the priest suddenly
switches from Dutch to Church Slavonic. And as far as I'm
concerned, he can include Greek and Ge'ez as well (especially
Ge'ez, since we have an Eritrean in our parish), but he won't ;-(.

In my own case, by basically making an honest job of it, as good as
I can, with a feeling of love and interest in my own creation. I don't
