Many of us have a distinct dislike for it, especially as a language used in the liturgy for it has a lot of historical baggage. Though I cam very fluent in it, having studied in a Malay language school, I just can't picture myself praying in it and neither can many others who have come to associate it with Islam and oppression. For a sermon to be delivered in a multi ethnic parish, where almost everyone understands English, in that language was not a very smart thing to do.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09356738924839809045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14011761.post-78540358702568438112007-12-13T00:24:00.000+08:002007-12-13T00:24:00.000+08:00Fantastic procession - but, forgive my ignorance, ...Fantastic procession - but, forgive my ignorance, what is the Black Speech?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14011761.post-69100169435115133512007-12-12T22:11:00.000+08:002007-12-12T22:11:00.000+08:00Wow!
