The letter from Shlichim and Elders (Acts 15:23)

[Paul Younan]

Thought you might like to know, Akhay, that also this tradition was very alive in the CoE when it went across Asia. The missionaries were able to speak Turkic, Indian, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, etc., as they evangelized these nations. The Patriarchs sent off these men who were gifted in "tongues" and that's how the Church spread.

This wasn't a senseless "babbling" at all.
