A friend, who attends an OCA parish, told me about a recent convert and choir member who was complaining about Byzantine chant. You know, it sounds plumb strange, and it seems as if the most nasal rendition is the most highly prized.
The convert was told by another parishioner, "You may want to get used to it. God is Byzantine."

That'b be news to the Africans.
I'd rather contradict the Africans than a babushka.
Babushki need contradicting, it's as good for their souls as anyone else's. Besides, the heavenly choirs sing in Slavonic, don't they?
I'm confident that God, in His infinite mercy, will grant us some Znamenny. Am I going too far in asking for a little Obikhod as well?
