Good luck on that, cause you'll need it. Personally, though I am not a
memeber, I do find myself providing musical services for an Episcapalian
church quite often. What I can say, based on the comparisons is: 1) In this
respect, John (/cpenta) is right. You dont NEED to use latin, but if you want
to give a small bonus to people who do use the orignal for whatever reason I
think it would be totaly fitting. Secondly, most of the mass (again, drawing
from the Epicipalian church) is explainig what is going on to the "MASSES"....
and probobly would not have that much direct impact on the sort of thing that
one deals with during the normal shadow run.

of course. as alway, your milage may vary (YMMV)
