Hey guys, I am at school so i will answer and complete later when i get home..
Basically, the doxology written now is a new creation that is not original in any way. My church is named after him, and we have been pn the search for his proper doxology, and after what seems like centuries of searching, we have found not 1 but 2 doxologies documented in manuscripts. I will go home, and post them on th9is website. While the one posted is not incorrect, i personally believe that if the correct one is available, i would use that.
However, our church used that one untill recently, and we even had made up a fake arabic one, that for some reason, the uncles are unable to abandon even though it sounds very corny and repetitive.
