The Serbian Orthodox churches throughout the Diaspora are increasingly using foreign languages in their services. The churches in the United States, Canada and Australia, some parts of the service are already in English. The service, according to the arrangement of Serbian Orthodox Church, is performing in Church Slavonic and Serbian languages, although the churches in the Diaspora serve the liturgy also in English language. About justification of this practice, Aleksandar Zivkovic spoke with a priest father Sasa Colic.
