Well, in spite of the disclaimer, Paul, you're doing a heck of a job, and performing a wonderful service at the same time. Your work is much appreciated!

As it is usually the critical comments that make themselves known, I encourage all visitors to this site, who are helped or otherwise inspired by your work, to add their voices to mine.

In Gratitude,

Savitri

Hi Savitri,

Thanks alot for the kind words!

It's words like yours that keep me motivated to finish this work, and I really appreciate them.

I thought I would add that little disclaimer so that people didn't get the mistaken impression that the Church of the East had authorized a translation, or that I spoke on behalf of the Church (although, I am a lifelong, faithful and obedient member of the Church of the East.)

Shlama w'Burkate,
Paul

Shlama Akhi Paul -

Few of us who cannot learn Aramaic as much as we can appreciate your fine work , will need the disclaimer - your Qurbana(offering) brings us closer than we could ever before, to His Word :9, and most probably at a time when we need it most.

I cannot for one, express nearly enough gratitude for it - but merely, Thanks from all my very heart(Rukha)-

Shlama w'Burkate Hasha w'Alam
