Hi everyone,
As many of you know, it's been my ardent desire for years now that this translation be completed as a part of a group/committee effort, rather than solely by myself. I am happy to announce that I will be meeting with several prelates of the CoE this weekend in Chicago, most notably His Grace Mar Awa, and we will be exploring forming a translation team to complete the first ever official English Translation of the Peshitta.
Students of the history of the CoE will recognize this as a historic milestone in our community, as no official translation in *any* language has ever been sanctioned. I am hoping that we receive synodal approval, and that I can contribute in some way.
I will announce more details here after our meeting.
