description: Duncan, an Oriental Orthodox priest, examines the life of an Orthodox parish in its various locations, configurations and progeny in its Greek, Russian and Serbian musical traditions. In the course of time the parish engendered several others, dealing with issues of culture, language, theology, and worship within its music. He examines the influence of converts, the impact of American culture, and issues of jurisdiction. He includes the 2003 Choir Book, The Divine Liturgy. The text is double spaced.
