Shlama lukhon,
I have been looking at the Liturgy of the Church of the East and have noticed what I consider to be rather remarkable portions that I believe can be attributed directly to the apostles or at least to direct Jewish influence and/or authorship.
Check out this little gem said by the priest at the Church of the East on a typical Sunday:
"You are blessed, O Lord God of our fathers"
Here is the Aramaic: [font=Estrangelo (V1.1)]Nthb0d 0hl0 0yrm tn0 Krbm[/font]
This sounds very similar to the beginning of any typical Jewish prayer which starts "Blessed are you, Lord our God ???" or transliterated into Hebrew: Barukh atta adonia eloheynu ???
