I bet that almost all of the liturgies are in English and all are the liturgy of St. John Chrysostom so why split the congregation that way?

Having assisted at Divine Liturgy at Assumption Ukrainian in Omaha, I can attest that there isn't much there in English. IIRC, the priest gave a long homily in Ukrainian and a shorter one in English. All of the prayers and responses were sung in Ukrainian, though. Gospodi pomiluy!

Well, then that might explain why some want to bring in the Ruthenian. I never had a problem with the liturgy in Old Church Slavonic or Ukrainian. You can always follow it in a booklet. The homily, however, yeah, you only get the short version in English!
