I think this is a great example of how Greek nationalism (and Russian, Serbian, ect.) is tearing apart the church. I know many kids from school who were Greek Orthodox and said that they wish they could go to the Roman Catholic church because they could understand the service. The Orthodox Church in Turkey will fade if we don't destroy these ethnic barriers. Like others have said, if texts and services aren't in the country's native language, how do we expect the average citizen to desire to participate. I don't mean to put down anyone by this, I just feel we should leave our ethnicity's at the door of the church and become citizens of Christ.
