On 2nd April 2007, Joice Thottackad quoted the web site of
"Almayavedhi' s bulletin. At the front page it has given as a head
line news about our Bava Thirumeni is at Kolenchery Medical College
for better treatment and to attend the Passion Week services without
disturbance.

At the outset I would take the opportunity to convey our appreciation
to Joice Thottackad for publishing the Almayavedhi' s bullettins
through ICON which each and every member of the Forum can read and act
upon it.

As mentioned by Mr Philip Oommen, Puramattomm, it is sad to notice
that no one including me has taken intiative mention about the
sickeness of our Bava Thirumen at the ICON site excepting the Almaya
Vedhi's bulletin to pray for the healing of our Supreme Head who is in
Kolenchery.

At this juncture, let us all pray for our Bava Thirumeni for H H's
speedy recovery.

With regards
Ssincerely

THE FOLLOWING IS THE ORDER IN A NUTSHELL.
============ ========= ========= =========
SUPREME COURT JUDGMENT -- CHURCH CASES

1.The Honourable Supreme Court of India has today disposed of Civil
Appeal No. 5460 to 5466 of 2004 by Judgment rendered by Justice
S.B.Sinha and Markandeya Katju. The said Civil Appeals were filed
challenging the judgment dated 28/1/2003 of the Division Bench of the
High Court of Kerala in O.P. No. 22946 of 2002 filed under Articles
226 and 144 of the Constitution of India by the Catholicos and
Malankara Metropolitan of the Malankara Orthodox Church.

2.In the above said Writ Petition the petitioners mentioned above
prayed for Police protection from the Kerala State Authorities to
enter into and conduct religions services and also to manage the
properties belonging to the parish church of the Jacobite Syrian
Church under Baselios Thomas €  'ΆI, Catholicos and Metropolitan
Trustee of the church. While dismissing the said writ petition the
Division Bench of the High Court of Kerala proceeded to interpret the
judgment of the Supreme Court of India in Most Rev. P.M.A.
Metropolitan & Ors. Vs. Moran Mar Marthoma Mathews delivered in the
year 1995 holding that the said judgment will not bind the properties
of the parish churches and also the parish church have the right to
opt out of the Malankara Association of the Malankara church and join
any other association in exercise of their fundamental right under
Article 19(1) (c) read with Articles 25 and 26 of the Indian Constitution.

3. The Catholicos and Metropolitans of Malankara Orthodox church
challenged the said findings of the Division Bench of the High Court
of Kerala, in the Supreme Court of India which has been disposed of today.

4. The Supreme Court of India in its judgment disposing of the appeals
has inter alia held as follows:

i. The writ of mandamus under Article 226 of the Constitution of India
for police protection to enter into the parish churches of the
Jacobite church could not have been maintained because it involved
disputed questions of facts relating to the title control and
management of the properties which are admittedly the subject matter
of several suits and appeals in various Courts in the State of Kerala.

ii. While dismissing the petition under Article 226 of the
Constitution of India by the High Court of Kerala, the disputed
questions between the rival parties regarding the interpretation of
the 1995 Judgment of the Supreme Court of India, right of the parish
churches under Article 19 (1) (c) of the Indian Constitution need not
have been decided. It is a subject matter of pending suits and appeals.

iii. The disputed questions relating to the right to manage an
administer in the parish churches can be decided in civil suits
uninfluenced by the findings contain in the judgment of the Division
Bench of the High Court of Kerala. The Civil Courts wherein the suits
are pending will be entitled to independently consider and decide the
questions relating to the management and administration of the parish
churches.

iv. The fact that different benches are entering conflicting findings
relating to the applicability of the 1995 judgment of the Supreme
Court of India was noticed and judgment entered by the Learned Single
Judge of the High Court of Kerala W.P. No. 32114 of 2006 dated
28/2/2007 was specifically considered. It was held that the findings
on the interpretation of the 1995 Supreme Court Judgment should not
have been gone into in the said writ petition under Article 226 of the
Constitution of India and then it was observed that since there is an
appeal pending before the Division Bench of the High Court of Kerala
challenging the said judgment no orders are being made.

v. It was held that the High Court should not have entered decision on
the question of facts/ question of right to management of the
administration of the properties of the parish churches specifically
when parish churches numbering about 2000 are not before the court and
when such questions are pending consideration in civil suits. The
civil suits shall be disposed of without being influence by the
observations given by the High Court and the courts wherein the suits
are pending shall be entitled to independent consideration of the
questions arising in the said suits.

vi. It was make clear that the Supreme Court of India is not
expressing any opinion regarding the correctness or otherwise of the
findings entered into by the Division Bench of the High Court of
Kerala in O.P. No. 22946 of 2002.

vii. The interlocutory application filed by DIDIMOS €  'ΆI of the
Malankara Orthodox church claiming that is the successor of the first
appellant, Marthoma Mathews II, was not allowed because of the
pendency of the civil suit relating the said question between two
rival groups of the Malankara Church.

Glory be to the Triune God, self-existing, without beginning or end,
perfect in essence,


Manorama news channel reports that the honourable supreme court has
ruled that the references made by the kerala high court during the
writ of mandamus in 2002 (police protection case) on the rights of
parishes were flawed and do not stand. The apex court has also
observed that the high court had erred.
This is not the time to exult, but to pray. Pray without ceasing
since we know that the prayers of our fathers have not gone in vain.
Let the intercessionary prayers of saints parumala gregorios and
vattasseril dionysius work on the dissidents for a change of heart.
Let us pray without ceasing for unity in our divided church.

Its procession of frond-waving believers, the singing and chanting,

after the service, the conversations among parishioners revealed the

MORM NEWS

--This is the first time I have read the Almayavedi News Bulletin. I
am grateful to the Vedi for giving us glimpses into the wisdom of HG
Paulos Mar Gregorios.

However, the mudslinging and personal vilification of people that the
Almayavedi engages in is a blemish on its otherwise good work.

If the Lay Trustee is a "Blade" what is the one the Vedi promotes? As
far as I know, both are members of Non Banking Finance Companies and
neither are 'blades'. They run private banks and do not indulge in
money lending activities that cheat,extort and use muscle power like
the Himalaya Group of Kanichukulangara notoriety. Then why the
selective vilification?

If as you say, the election was influenced by the money power of the
lay trustee, then you are casting aspersions on the integrity of the
majority who elected him.

Most of the Banks in the country were also private institutions which
lent money and took deposits. The people who approach any are
perfectly aware of the terms of the contracts. As far as I know,
neither Roy Muthoot or George Muthoot act as "Blades". A person's
quality comes out in how he handles defeat, not in how he handles success.

This is something I have copied from Rev. John Brian's posting in
Gregorian Study Circle about the true nature of Fast. I hope they
forgive me for copying this without their permission, but I did that
because I believed that it is relevant here.

Do you fast?

Give me proof of it by your works.

If you see someone who is poor, take pity on that person.

If you see a friend being honored, do not be envious.

Do not let only your mouth fast, but also the eyes, and the feet,

and the hands and all the member of our bodies.

Let the hands fast, by being free of avarice.

Let the feet fast, by ceasing to run after sin.

Let the eyes fast, by disciplining them not to glare at that which is
sinful.

Let the ears by not listening to evil talk and gossip.

Let the mouth fast from foul words and unjust criticism

For what good is it if we abstain from birds and fishes,

but bite and devour our brothers and sisters?"

- St. John Chrysostom
(received on another list - Fr JohnBrian)

I am related to the Muthoot family (Bandhu)as my sister is married to
the brother of George Muthoot. I have never met Mr Roy.I have not met
Mr George more than twice in my life and have not exchanged more than
a hello with him. I know no more about him than most of the others on
ICON, but I know many others in the family and so I think I have some
idea about them. Because of this, I respect both Mr Roy Muthoot & Mr
George. I cannot believe that such slander and gossip is instigated by
Mr Roy Muthoot. It is unseemly, especially at Lent and among brothers.
It is like the quarrel with the Patriarch Faction. It is also rather
surprising, coming from the paper of someone closely associated with
Gregorios Thirumeni, who, in spite of the injustices, always accepted
the decision of the Church.

St. JOHNS ORTHODOX CHURCH MANTHURUTHEL

PASSION WEEK
   "People, attitudes, & action"

   1John 5:11-13, (Luke 19 – 22) + others
   Jesus approached the last week of his life here on earth … making
the arduous journey up from Jericho – 1340 feet below sea level … up
the winding road through the Judean Wilderness … and finally standing
on the Mount of Olives … he looked upon Jerusalem – 2550 feet above
sea level.
   On foot, it is a two-day trek … climbing slightly more than 3800
feet along that 14-mile road.
   That road was banned to us two weeks ago.
   It was on the Palestinian side of the line.
   But we stopped about halfway up the new road …overlooking the old
one across the valley to the north.
   Today, it is still bleak!
   No shade!
   Dusty!
   Here and there … you could see a Bedouin tending sheep … just as it
must have been 2000 years ago.
   Atop the hill overlooking Jerusalem, Jesus said: (Luke 13:34,35) "O
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which kills the prophets, and stones them that
are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children
together, as a hen does gather her brood under her wings, and ye
would not!
   Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto
you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say,
Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
   As Jesus did in that day … we, too, today, stand at the focal-point
of the entire Bible:

    The reason for God stepping down as a human;
    The reason for Christmas;
    The reason for the Bible itself.
   Heaven's drama of salvation … of eternal and abundant life is being
played out.
   For Jesus … his whole reason for being here hung like a millstone
around his neck.
   His days were numbered.
   For us … it's the hinge-pin of our life.
   It's the point of debarkation… for leaving the old ... the ways of
the world.
   It's the point of embarkation … for stepping into the new … the
eternal … the abundant.
   But like Jerusalem … we have the choice.
   God … in the person of Jesus as our Christ has created the
opportunity.
   Now we must choose.
   And, if we choose not to choose … that's our choice.
   That was the choice Jerusalem made.
   That's why Jesus . . .beheld the city, and wept over it . . .
because thou knew not the time of thy visitation.
   Our ever-present … loving … and patient God … gives us a time … a
season … to make our choice:
   Our way … or His Way!
   Jesus begins the last week of his life … as the opportunity for
Jerusalem expires.
   For them, it's downhill the rest of the way.
   It's Palm Sunday…the day of the triumphant entry.
   The palm fronds laid across his path denoted his deity.
   Jesus – King of the Jews – enters … not as prophet … priest … and
king … but as a common custodian to sweep the corruption and
moneychangers out of the temple.
   This has become known as Passion Week – the
   purpose … the pain … the payment of Jesus … as he becomes our
Christ.
   Today, we stand as so many did in that day.
   What does this Jesus mean to us?
   How will we react to his death, burial, and resurrection?
   What will we do with the opportunity that it presents?
   This was the final battle

    Between good and evil
    Between God and the devil.
   Christ won!
   He reigns in heaven!
   But, the battle continues.
   In Heaven ... in eternity … it's over.
   But on earth we still struggle with the fallen angel … and all of
his mischief.
   We either follow the Passion Path of our Lord and Savior …
   Or we follow the Poison Path of a tried and convicted liar and
cheat.
   Let's see how some of those in that day reacted:
   Each character is part of God's mosaic of our salvation.

First, Judas
   Judas was a patriot.
   He loved his country.
   Ours is not to judge his motives … but to profit from his
experience with Jesus.
   As a Zealot, he advocated the violent overthrow of Rome. Most Jews
did … still do of the Palestinians.
   Jesus must have been a great disappointment to Judas.
   His Messiah must take any and all means to overthrow the enemy,
Rome and all she represents.
   Judas clung to the promise of the Second Advent … but completely
overlooked the first.
   Isaiah 53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned,
every one, to his own way; and the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity
of us all.
   7 He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He opened not His
mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before
its shearers is silent, So He opened not His mouth.
   Judas had his own agenda.
   This was not his Messiah.
   Judging from the price … and the lack of reference to haggling … it
would seem that the money was not his motive.
   The money was a means to an end:

    Either the people would rise up over the arrest of Jesus in
revolt, or
    Jesus, himself, would call down a legion of angels to put Rome in
its place.
   Judas thought he could force God's hand …
   And bend the will of God to suit his own agenda.
   Judas recognized his error.
   Rather than repenting … he self-destructed.
   The other Disciples
   They shared much of Judas' attitude.
   They, too, expected a different Messiah.

    They were looking to a military victor ...
    A knight in shining armor astride a white stallion.
   Thus, they argued over their rank in the pecking order of
importance.
   Jesus taught them a lesson by washing their feet, as a common slave
might have done.
   Even the law would not let a master order his slave to wash someone
else's feet.
   Jesus demonstrated that … "many who are first will be last, and the
last first."
   God, himself, determines our ranking before him, by the gifts that
he gives … and by the stewardship that we return.
   Third, Peter
   Peter loves Jesus so much he is sure he will be faithful.
   There was so much that Peter didn't understand.
   Neither do we.
   Peter made a commitment in the flesh.
   He loved Jesus as a brother.
   That was the only capacity available to him.
   Jesus had yet to send the Holy Spirit to indwell him.
   With the Holy Spirit within us … we have the power of God to apply
the Love of God.
   Peter boasted out of his ignorance and got busted.
   Peter learned his lesson and profited.
   Judas did not … and lost.
   Confusing the feelings that accompany faith with the attitude of
faith … sets us up for a fall.
   The strength of our faith is based more upon the object of our
faith … rather than our supply of it.
   The Soldiers
   Those who opposed Jesus mocked him.
   But, indifference was the majority response!
   Lord … Savior … Master … bum, it made no difference to them.
   Beating him with the cat-o-nine tails … or driving spikes through
his wrists and ankles were just part of the job.
   He was just another hunk of meat.
   As he is to all who ignore him today.
   The Centurion
   The events of the last days … the events on the cross more than
convinced the centurion.
   When Jesus – after enduring the beatings, the ridicule, the
mockery, and the agony of the Cross – looked up and asked: Forgive
them Father, for they no not what they do.
   The centurion glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous
man.
   Mark quotes him as saying that Jesus was truly a Son of God.
   The Sanhedrin
   These fellows stand for institutional evil, whether it is political
or religious.
   They enjoyed political peace with the enemy – with Rome.
   They wanted nothing or nobody to disrupt the status quo.
   Their business … their bottom line … depended upon keeping Rome
happy.
   The Pharisees
   Rank and power were their gods.
   Protecting their positions … their prestige …was their goal.
   It didn't matter how much they had corrupted the Law of Moses …
they were determined to protect their religious monopoly.
   They were willing to violate their own law to do it:

    Trials after dark,
    Trials by unofficial authorities,
    Paid witnesses,
    False charges …
   It didn't matter … as long as this fresh upstart from Galilee could
be eliminated.
   Pilate
   This poor people-pleaser was on a political hot seat. Oh, how he
did squirm!
   Afraid the Sanhedrin would go to King Herod and to Rome, he caved
in big time.
   People-pleasers end up pleasing no one.
   Pilate was nothing more … nothing less … than a political
prostitute who sold out to the best offer.
   He let himself be used.
   Herod
   King Herod was supposed to be a ruler.
   He feared Jesus as a threat to his throne.
   Rome had entrusted him with the peace and prosperity of Palestine.
   This he ensured with threats and violence.
   And Jesus attracted adoring crowds without trying.
   But, being a puppet king … Herod was bored. He occupied his time
with trifles, with curiosities, with hobbies, with building projects.
   He had castles and retreats all over the countryside.
   He craved excitement.
   When Jesus showed up he was hoping for a magical trick or, at
least, some amusing conversation, anything to relieve the boredom.
   Even Jesus could not stomach this "empty suit."
   When Jesus refused to entertain him and his court, Herod joined the
common soldiers in mocking Jesus.

   The women
   Luke highlights the role of women around our Lord.
   They surpass the men in holiness.
   Yet, their role is simply one of support, of "being with."
   They illustrate God as an always-present companion – never
intruding, but available.
   Only a few were named, but they were always at a place of service.
   They didn't run. The disciples did.
   They didn't hide. The disciples did.
   They were at the cross.
   The disciples watched from afar.
   They wept with and for Jesus.
   They were first to serve. Last to leave.
   These women were the tough ones.
   They did the right thing for the right reasons, no matter how
insignificant it might seem to the world.
   Simon, the Cyrenian
   Soldiers pressed this North African into service.
   His resentment turned into respect … and his respect into faith in
Jesus as his Christ.
   The Good Thief
   Luke calls him a criminal; Mark and Matthew call him a "thief."
   He demonstrates that we don't have to change anything but our minds
to become a Christian …and to receive eternal life.
   He personifies hope and the unconditional love God has for all of
us.
   1John 5:11 And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal
life, and this life is in His Son.
   12 He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God
does not have life.
   13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of
the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and
that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.
   Our question today is:
   What will you do with Jesus?
   Neutrality is not an option!
   Embrace him … and life becomes eternal.
   Ignore him …and life becomes unbearable!
   The choice is ours!

   Sincerely
   Philip

Bava Thirumeni's health update

Fri Mar 30, 2007

Dear all
Yesterday morning I visited H. H. and found so much improvement in
health. The
blood clot in the brain is dissolving steadily. His disabled limbs are
gaining strength. He has no memory loss. He is under a bit of sedation.
Still he can talk. The overall condition is that H.H. is making steady
progress. However we need to continue to remember him in our prayers.

Yuhanon Mor Meletius,
Thrissur.
