Hello all!
I was inspired to start this thread from a post in another thread. Let us marvel at the proclamation of the Gospel in all our churches! Post your 'favorites' please.
Here are a few of mine to hopefully get the ball rolling...
The holy resurrection proclaimed in English by a Coptic Orthodox deacon. I don't know what his name was as a deacon, but he is now Fr. Andrew Iskander.
Matthew 16:13-21, for the consecration of Kidane Miheret Ethiopian Orthodox Church in Kitchner, Ontario Canada. I assume that this is either in Ge'ez, the classical language of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and the Ethiopian empire, or in Amharic, the modern official language of Ethiopia.
The Psalm and the Gospel, prayed in Arabic by Dn. Bishoy El Qamos Daniel, presented here not because he has the best voice in the world, but because from what I've been able to gather he is one of the martyrs of the church bombing in Tanta a little while ago. May he intercede for us before the throne of God, together with all the holy martyrs.
Very odd one: video title says it is proclaiming the Gospel in Hebrew language, but in Alqosh, which is a town in Iraq that is heavily associated with the Chaldean Catholic Church...where nobody speaks Hebrew. I don't know if the title or location are wrong, but that's what is apparently happening here. It is definitely not Syriac.
Not to be outdone, here's a Coptic Orthodox priest proclaiming the Gospel in German, because the Church of St. Mary at which he serves is in Dusseldorf, so it's what we can and should do.
