I was doing a search last night for Ukrainian divine liturgiese to get a feel of what their sacred music is like - sounds like 19th ce choral music, similar to what you might find in Russian liturgies? I came across this taken at St. Joseph Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church in Chicago, Illinois. Is that a woman posing as a deacon? Later in the video you see some Plus altar girls? Or are they femine-looking boys with long hair? If they are female, then it just shows that no church in America is immune to the pressures of egalitarianism. (Except maybe the Orthodox, for now.) Disappointing.
