Many of the key prayers are profoundly similar, but in the past the similarities were hidden by being in different languages (Latin, Koine Greek, Slavonic &c.) and then by different translations - if they're being brought closer together, that's a definite step forward to my mind.

Do you happen to know whether these are the same or similar translations used by the Orthodox who celebrate in English?
