Syrian Orthodox Vespers - Westminster Cathedral

[Severus]

One observation received after the service from someone unfamiliar with Orthodox worship, was an appreciation of the fine female soloist which was heard at its best in the accoustics of Westminster Cathedral. This parallels closely the Armenian tradition and it was good to have the harmonious interplay of male and female voices. As always, the ecumenical visitors were made most welcome. There is a genuine warmth and fellowship from the clergy, staff and people at Westminster Cathedral which is a great credit to Mgr. Mark Langham, the Administrator; Bishop Bernard Longley and Father Michael Seeds, who all worked so hard to make things run smoothly.
