The Liturgical Texts Project - informal collection of Western Orthodox liturgical texts for perusal

Liturgical Texts Project

The Liturgical Texts Project was begun by Fr. Aidan in 1999. With contributions from Orthodox of a variety of jurisdictions and non-Orthodox too, the Project is a unique and informal gathering of various liturgical materials. Many thanks to all who have assisted the Project so generously, especially pastor Jens Schmidst-Clausen of the Lutheran Church, Fr. Hieromonk Benedickt of the Moscow Patriarchate, Archimandrite Gorazd of Buenos Aires, Fr. Nicholas Alford of the Antiochian Archdiocese, Abp. John of the Milan Synod, Archpriest John Shaw of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia, Archpriest Jack Witbrock of the Antiochian Patriarchate in New Zealand, Reader Isaac Lambertsen of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia, and many others.

AWRV means Antiochian Western Rite Vicariate; SHP means St. Hilarion Press (which work continues under the aegis of the St. John Cassian Press).
