In modern times, the word "Christendom" is only used by theologians and historians (and even then, rarely), and as Karen was neither, I'm willing to give her a pass. She might never have encountered the word before she stepped into the recording booth, and took her best shot at its pronunciation. Or, she could have changed the pronunciation intentionally for effect. Or, there's even a remote possibility that the word was misspelled on the lead sheet she was handed. We'll probably never know the answer. At any rate, I'm not loosing any sleep over it!
