I understand it's not dogma, and the debate of the Book of Enoch is not important for our salvation.
But our church as a whole doesn't believe in the book, so in this case his views did equate the views of the church. I just want to know what HH s…
@minatasgeel
Thank you for all the info
-lol...yeah I don't know about that. Do you know where I can find a recording of joyful intro? or even the annunciation and nativity ones?
