  This is related to my topic on Amos.
  
  To all Christians again,
  
  How does your pastor pronounce 'Amen'?
  
  Issit
  
  1. Ah-men
  2. A-men
  
  Perhaps the answer will tell us whether Amos starts with 'Ah' or 'A'.

  Note: Christians here include christians from any denominations including Catholics.
  
  Pastors here include priests as well .. since all priests are pastors in role but not all pastors are priests.
