> Fr Ward: Thanks for the info. Sorry to hear about your 'chances' with
the balerina fromSofia being scotched. And they say life is fair. We
have one Serb Church in Nevada but the priest is a convert from
something and speaks no Serbian.                                        
                                      There is one lady in congregation
who is from somewhere SW of Belgrade and she is fluent. Her husband is
an Anglican. Her 10 yr old dtr once asked me if I was a Christian!
Impertinent monkey! My point of course is that no one speaks Church
Slavonic now but they still use it for worship.
Blessings. GDVW+
