Press release on an email list:
Fr Lazarus Moore's translation of the (Jordanville) Prayer Book is to
come back into print.
Fr Lazarus of pious memory translated the Orthodox Prayer Book which =
contains morning and evening prayers, preparatory prayers for Holy =
Communion, the Liturgy, and hymns, canons and akathists. This was
first published in the 1960s by Holy Trinity Monastery, Jordanville.
Fr Lazarus, being English, had a deep understanding of, and feeling
for, the poetic style and grammar of classic liturgical English.
It was great sadness to many people to discover that the present
edition of the Jordanville Prayer Book has been drastically altered to
its detriment. Now, glory to God, the Saint George Orthodox
Information Service (SGOIS) has been given permission to republish Fr Lazarus' original text.
In the first instance we would welcome feedback about this to get some
measure of the economic viability of this project and therefore to
determine the possible size of the print-run.
