Thank you, Nigel, my quest for another 6-consonant string is ended.

6 without a conjunction, or 7 anyone? I think we must discount rhythms as it uses the ambiguous vowel/non-vowel status of Y.

Reverting to the main theme, I feel I must continue my support for complexity.

I sympathise with those for whom their participation in the service is restricted by their ability to read/pronounce certain words, but it seems to me that this is a near-ideal chance for them to develop those abilities. They have the words in front of them and numerous people around them (presumably encouraging and non-judgemental people) giving their own pronunciation of the words, and the novice can join in at will. There are even repeats in many pieces. Where else will these opportunities be provided outside a formal learning environment, which may not be available to everyone?

Singing well written songs along with native-speakers seems to me a very effective way to develop pronunciation, vocabulary, and general feel for any language, quite apart from any religious or social inclusion which will result.

Oh, and thanks too to Doug, I thought I was probably the last person on the net to learn what IIRC meant. I don't like many of the bits of "netspeak" I have learned, but that one seems too useful to ignore.
