Summer time Meets
05 May 2012 1 Comment
We in the diocese had several meets during the past few weeks. Pictures from some of them.
We elected a new Council for the Diocese. Since we could not elect any woman as per the constitution, I nominated the secretary of Vanitha Samajam and another woman who is serving as the local government body (Taluk Panchayat) president to the council.
The meeting:
We had our Priests’ Family Meet: Host and his family:

Manorama’s Media Ethics Contd.
28 Apr 2012 1 Comment
H.H. Baselius Marthoma Paulose II Catholicos of the East is in Abu Dhabi and, among several things he did, also addressed a press conference. He was naturally very much disappointed about the way the governments responded to the just cause of the Malankara Church. He expressed his opinion before the press. Most of the media persons reported faithfully his words. But Manorama heard only what he said about the world affairs.
I complained about my experience with Manorama in the previous post. But now I know thay will not honor even the Chief priest of the Church. Luke 23: 31 For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?
See what two news papers heard H.H. saying:
Now see what Manorama heard from H.H.
Manorama’s Media Ethics
25 Apr 2012 11 Comments
Malayala Manorama daily is world renowned and has won several media awards.
But when it comes to the issues related to Malankara Church and specially something related to me, they forget all about media ethics. Recently when they published the news about Pathanamthitta Association they gave the picture of the podium with H.H. and all the bishops and office bears. They could not avoid me because I was sitting not very far from H.H. and there were other bishops they did not want to avoid. So they waited for me to take a piece of paper and fan myself so that my face will be covered. I am sure a media photographer would take several photos of an event. They found this one the best to suit their agenda. They also avoided some one from among the office bears. That is another story.
This posting is about the news about perunnal in two Churches in Thrissur area. One is Elanadu St. Mary’s Orthodox Church which is in my jurisdiction. It has about two hundred plus families and it is a Church united from two factions of the Church putting an end to the litigation and factional fight. Details of this was posted earlier in this blog (http://yuhanonmilitos.wordpress.com/2009/09/12/postings-in-icon-on-elanadu-church/). The other Church is Kakkinikkadu St. George Church, which has about fifty members and is under the Jacobite custody. Several years back the present Thomas I came there on a Sunday morning from no where and threw the vicar who was appointed by me and was serving for more than two years from the altar, threw away the bread and wine prepared by the vicar with the help of his gang men, then locked up the main altar susrushakan and took over the Church. People protested it purchased a land near by and established a chapel for them to worship under my jurisdiction. This Church, for Manorama is more important than Elanadu Church which was united and is in a peaceful atmosphere. You may try to find out differences in the news about names and other details.We had provided all details about the event to the press. They edited it and made it look as if it is a tiny community in Elanadu.

The credit of electing the first ever woman trustee of a parish in the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church goes to St. Mary’s Orthodox Syrian Church, Mannuthy. This Church is attached to Thrissur Diocesan headquarters which is my residence and I am happy that I initiated woman’s voting right process.
The new trustee of the parish is Mrs. Mariam Daniel Kombalath, wife of Mr. Daniel K. Thomas. She, a graduate in history from Calicut University, has been an active member of the Marthamariyam Vanitha Samajam for several years. She has served as the auditor of Kainoor St. George Church where she was a member earlier. She has two children Shiny Daniel and Shiju Daniel.
