This morning's service was very multi-lingual and included songs and readings in...

Yoruba

Shona

Xhosa

High German

French

Swahili

Welsh

English

And then it came to the Lord's prayer we almost certainly added

Latin

Czech

Gaelic

Two obsevations...

Firstly, the rhythm and feel of the four languages in which we heard scripture read (German, Swahili, French, Welsh) added a richness to our worship that is lacking in any single language service.

Secondly, although most people prayed the Lord's prayer in English, I could hear other voices and languages and the blended sound was rather beautiful.  I have a feeling the vision of Revelation 7 was something  like that and not, as people sometimes suggest, everyone in a single (usually 21st century English) language.
