There is a paucity of published scholarly material on the questions at hand, but there is one such review essay of the SASB published in ''St Vladimir's Theological Quarterly'', Vol. 41 (1997), No. 2-3, pp. 249-268. (This essay sould be added to the article's references.) It concludes that "most of the changes required by the ''Observations'' simply were not made" (p. 256). Reviewing the essay reminded me of other examples of changes not made. The ''Observations'' criticized , e.g., the BCP's anaphora for not commemorating the Saints. No such commemoration was added, as the essay notes (p. 254). Clearly, "all" is not acceptable in that it is a false claim. I would have been content with "almost all", even if "only some" is more accurate. Given the level of hostility even the modest qualifier of "almost" provoked from another editor, perhaps the only solution is to remove any mention in the relevant articles to changes being made in accordance with the ''Observations''. --[[User:Fr Lev|Fr Lev]] 20:30, July 1, 2008 (UTC)

I would like to see documentation on the claim, "ROCOR has since implemented all of them, as well, in approving 'The English Liturgy.' Hierarchs in the Antiochian, Alexandrian, and Moscow Patriarchates, as well as ROCOR, have approved a form of this liturgy."
"The English Liturgy" that is linked in the article bears little resemblance to the Liturgy of St Tikhon, and purports to be based on several sources -- the medieval Sarum, the 1549 BCP, a 1718 liturgy (?), etc. -- not the 1892 BCP that Moscow examined nor the 1928 on which the Liturgy of St Tikhon is actually based. While bracketing the question of the actual provenance of the "English Liturgy," it seems anachronistic at the very least to say that it has added all of the chnages required by the Commission, when the Commission didn't examine this particular mélange.
I've not run across references to the Liturgy of St Tikhon being approved by Moscow or Alexandria. Those would be good to see. --[[User:Fr Lev|Fr Lev]] 15:46, July 2, 2008 (UTC)
