VICAR’S MESSAGE FOR THE CHURCH DIRECTORY

The new Directory of the Salem Mar Thoma parish, Ernakulam is published as part of the Platinum Jubilee Celebrations. As a parish, we had the previous edition of this in 2002. Members have moved from one place to another, which has led to many additions and deletions to the directory. I am sure all will be happy at this venture and receive it with joy and gratitude. Please do inform the Vicar or the office bearers when you shift your residence or you change telephone numbers.

The directory gives a short description about all worshipping families in the parish. It is a good reference which helps us to keep in touch with one another and to know more about our fellow worshippers. The new edition with more information will help strengthen our bond further as a community through improved networking; and this cannot be a substitute for the Edavaka register.

Though we are widely spread in the greater Cochin and kilometers apart, there is oneness, a thread that binds us all together. We have a valuable treasure of the rich Marthoma ethos and heritage. We need to experience it through the parish fellowship and personal contact. The members of the Directory Committee, Mr. Joy Verghese (Convener) M/S Mr. K.M. Koshy and Mr. John Varghese had an excellent service in collecting, editing and compiling it. They deserve appreciation and credit.

I hope and pray that the use of the new directory would enhance our life together more meaningfully in this city and in the days to come.

In His Ministry Yours,Oommen Philip Atchen

WORD OF THANKS FROM THE DIRECTORY COMMITTEE

We are grateful to God Almighty for his abundant mercies and blessings that helped the small migrant community to grow from a humble beginning to what we are today.

Chacko George which certainly is an inspiration for many of us to learn the history of Mar Thoma Syrian Church of Malabar and our Parish.We are also thankful to the parish members who have helped us in many ways and also the co-operation of the Printers.We believe this publication will, more than a source of information, help develop personal contact and fellowship amongst community members.We have exercised all possible care in compiling the data and errors, omissions, if any, are not intentional and we seek your pardon.

ERNAKULAM SALEM MARTHOMA CHURCH -THE ROOTS

(Adv. Chacko George)Before His ascension into heaven, our Lord Jesus Christ told His disciples:

You will receive power, when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witness in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and the ends of the earth (Acts 1: 8).When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place and the Holy Spirit did come on them.Thereupon, in obedience to their Master’s call, the disciples dispersed themselves and went out to witness Him, wherever the Holy Spirit led them. In performing this divine mission, many of them became martyred, one after the other.

ST.THOMAS Among all the apostles, doubting Thomas travelled the farthest and reached as afar as Kodungallur, in the west coast of India, in the year 52 AD. He founded the ancient Church in Kerala, whose people have come to be known as St.Thomas Christians. From the west coast of India, he journeyed to China on his divine mission and from there came back to India again, this time to the east coast. In the east coast, he had to confront aggressive detractors. He was eventually speared to death, in the year 72 AD, at a place near Madras (Chennai). This place has since come to be known as St.Thomas Mount.

ST.THOMAS CHRISTIANSOne Native Church

St.Thomas Christians in Kerala remained one, simple, indigenous, independent, undivided Church, for 16 centuries, in blissful ignorance of the nicer christological concepts and consequent differences, that arose, in distant Churches elsewhere. St.Thomas Christians were pastored by their own native ministers, ordained by visiting Prelates from West Asia, irrespective of the theological school of thought, they came from. Apparently, by reason of the language of the liturgy used in the Church, St.Thomas Christians came to be known also as Syrian Christians. Temporal and spiritual administration of the Church was in the hands of the native community and their ministers, headed by the local dignitary, known as Arch-deacon.

ROMAN HEGEMONYand deliverance

About 400 years ago, in the year 1599, consequent upon intervention by the Portuguese power, the Church was absorbed into the Church of Rome, in the historic Udayamperoor Synod. The Church remained in the Roman fold for about 50 years.

12

dividing the Church again.

At that time, Colonel Munro was the British Resident (1810-1819), accredited to both the States of Travancore and Cochin. He also held the office of Divan of both States, for considerable parts of his tenure as Resident. Colonel Munro was a devout christian. He took a great deal of interest in the welfare of the native Syrian Church and wanted to ensure peace and good government in the Church.

Acting in accordance with the desire of the lay and clerical leaders of the Church, Colonel Munro persuaded Mar Philoxenos II, the head of a small, historic, local church of Syrian christians, based in Thozhiyur, in British Malabar, to move to Kottayam, in the year 1816 and temporarily take over episcopal administration of the Malankara Syrian Church, till such time as a proper person was consecrated to that office.

In order to avoid possible disputes and division, Colonel Munro persuaded the ruling sovereign of Travancore (Regent Rani Lakshmi Bai), to issue a Royal Proclamation, recognising Mar Philoxenos II, as the Head (Metropolitan) of the Malankara Syrian Church.

PRACTICE OF NOTIFYING HEAD OF Malankara Syrian Church

by Royal Proclamation

The Royal Proclamation of 1816 became the first, in a series of Royal Proclamations, issued by the Government of Travancore, notifying the Head (Metropolitan) of the Malankara Syrian Church, as one after other Bishop became inducted into that office, upon his predecessor’s death or relinquishment of office viz., Pulikot Mar Dionysius II (1816), Punnathara Mar Dionysius III (1818), Cheppat Mar Dionysius IV (1825) etc. As a result, it was generally accepted by the community, that the effective installation of the ruling Bishop, required a confirmatory proclamation by the Maharajah.

ENGLISH MISSION OF HELP1816 - 1836

Moral and spiritual fibre of the Malankara Syrian Church had come to a very low ebb, by the time the Church came to the notice of the British Residents and the Anglican Bishop in India, in the early part of the 19th century, mainly due to want of facility for reading and learning Scripture, in the absence of a Malayalam version of the Holy Bible and consequent unbecoming and unscriptural practices, that came into vogue, in the Church.

In this background, Church Mission Society of England sent out missionaries to help the local leaders of the Church, to educate the clergy and the laity and root out unbecoming and unscriptural practices.

Provision of Malayalam translation of the Holy Bible and conduct of worship service in Malayalam, the only language understood by the people, were crying need of the time, to which the CMS missionaries, devoted their attention.

The English Mission of help lasted only for a period of 20 years, spread over the episcopal stewardship of Pulikot Mar Dionysius II (1816-17), Punnathara Mar Dionysius III (1818-1825) and the early years of Cheppat Mar Dionysius IV (1825-36). The first two Bishops welcomed and appreciated the English mission of help and the CMS Missionaries had a very good relationship with them.

MAVELIKARA PADIYOLA1836

However, when it came to the period of episcopal stewardship of Cheppat Mar Dionysius IV, difference of opinion grew between the Bishop and the Missionaries. At a Synod of the Church, held at Mavelikara, in the year 1836, a formal document was drawn up, opposing the reforms brought in by the English Missionaries and restricting their freedom of action in the Church. This document has come to be known in Church History, as Mavelikara Padiyola.

13

During this period, the Church came under the episcopal authority of three successive Romo-Portuguese Prelates viz., (1) Bishop (later Archbishop) Francis Ros SJ (1599-1624); (2) Archbishop Stephen Brito SJ (1624-1641) and (3) Archbishop Francis Garcia SJ (1641-1659);

all consecrated in Goa, especially for the Church of the St.Thomas Syrian Christians.

Episcopacy of these three Portuguese Prelates, was marred by a great deal of internal strife and dissension, in the Church.

In the year 1653, the Church shook itself free from the Portuguese yoke and renounced its allegiance to the Church of Rome, in the historic event of Coonen Cross. The declaration of independence was sealed by raising Arch-deacon Thomas of Pakalomattom family, as the native Prelate under the title Marthoma-I, at Alangad, in the year 1653 itself, in eschewal of the episcopal authority of Archbishop Francis Garcia.

However much we may desire against it, the fifty years of Roman hegemony and episcopal administration by the Portuguese Prelates, does form part of our history and for that reason, also part of our heritage and roots.

THE FIRST DIVIDEPazhayakur Syrians

Following the wholesale exit of the whole body of Syrian Christians from the Church of Rome, Carmelite fathers were dispatched by Rome, to appease the community and bring them back to the Roman fold. Their ceaseless efforts bore fruit. Out of a total of 116 congregations, 84 congregations went back to the Roman Church, by the end of 1657. This section of the St.Thomas christians, have come to be known as Pazhayakur Syrians, in projection of the immediately past (Roman) allegiance, to which they went back.

LINK WITH ANTIOCHEAN CHURCH

Puthenkur Syrians

The balance 32 congregations remained independent, under the leadership of their native Prelate Marthoma-I, who had already been raised to that dignity, in 1653 itself. However, appropriate consecration of Marthoma I, by laying of hands, by another Bishop, in accordance with universally recognised rite of the Church, had to await the arrival of a Bishop from the Syrian Jacobite Church of the Antioch, in the year 1665. This event initiated the native Church’s connection with the Syrian Jacobite Patriarch of Antioch. Although the native Church’s connection with the Syrian Jacobite Church and the Patriarch of Antioch, was only of a very limited nature, nonetheless this section of the native community came to be known as Puthenkur Syrians, in projection of the new Antiochean connection and the Church itself came to be known as the Malankara Syrian (Jacobite) Church.

Nine native prelates, all of them from Pakalomattom family, holding the title of Marthoma I to IX, ruled over the Malankara Syrian Church, for well over 150 years, during the period 1653 to 1817. Of these nine Prelates, Marthoma VI submitted himself to demands by visiting foreign Prelates from Antioch and permitted himself to be re-consecrated a second time, under the new title Mar Dionysius I.

DISPUTES IN THE SYRIAN CHURCH -Termination of choice of Prelates

from Pakalomattom family -Royal proclamation of Ruling Bishop

Disputes arose in the Malankara Syrian Church, in regard to the validity of the consecration of Marthoma VIII, in 1816 and upon his death soon after, Marthoma IX, also in 1816. This had the potential of

14

The Patriarch also proceeded to confer on Mar Athanasius, his official authorisation known as Stathecon, to rule over the Malankara Syrian Church.

MAR ATHANASIUS’ EFFORTSto assume office

Mathews Mar Athanasius returned to Kerala in 1843. Thereupon, he made efforts to establish himself, as the ruling Bishop of Malankara Syrian Church and more especially to obtain confirmatory Royal Proclamation in that behalf, in his favour, by the Travancore Government. However, many difficulties stood in his way.

Cheppat Mar Dionysius IV was still holding that office and he would not relent, to assumption of office by Mar Athanasius.

Later, Mar Kurilos, a foreign Prelate from the Syrian Jacobite Church, came on the scene, claiming the Patriarch’s authority to take over office of the Ruling Bishop. Thereupon, Mar Dionysius IV abdicated office, in favour of Mar Kurilos.

Both Mar Athanasius and Mar Kurilos projected their respective claims for office, before two successive committees appointed by the Government of Travancore, one after the other, to resolve the dispute. Both Committees declared their verdict in favour of Mar Athanasius. Accordingly, Royal Proclamation was issued, in the year 1852, declaring Mar Athanasius, to be the duly constituted Head (Metropolitan) of the Malankara Syrian Church.

ABRAHAM MALPAN PASSES AWAY1845

During the period 1843-’52, Mathews Mar Athanasius was far too much pre-occupied with his efforts, to establish his own authority, as the ruling Bishop. He was also equally anxious to keep together the reformists and the anti-reformists, in the Church, without a split.

Abraham Malpan, his uncle, felt disappointed that Mar Athanasius was not giving adequate leadership to reformation movement in the Church, which had become his mission in life. In this background, Abraham Malpan passed away, (to some extent, a disappointed person), in the year 1845.

MATHEWS MAR ATHANASIUS’ stewardship of the Church –Metropolitan, 1852 – 1872

Once he consolidated his position as the ruling Bishop of the Malankara Church, Mathews Mar Athanasius, gave excellent leadership to the Church, spiritually, socially as well as in many other ways. He also gave active support to reformation movement, initiated by his uncle Abraham Malpan, He also made efforts, to keep the Church, out of a split.

Nonetheless, anti-reformists were determined to oust him from office.

PULIKOT MAR DIONYSIUS VConsecrated Bishop, 1865

The opponents of Mar Athanasius, dispatched Pulikot Joseph Ramban, a nephew of the late Pulikot Mar Dionysius II, to the Patriarch in Mardin, seeking his consecration as Bishop. The Patriarch consecrated Joseph Ramban as Bishop, under the title Mar Dionysius V, in the year 1865 and also proceeded to issue a kalpana, purporting to appoint him as Head of the Malankara Church, in supercession of Mathews Mar Athanasius.

Mar Dionysius V staked his claim for office, before the Government of Travancore, but no immediate

15

Following Mavelikara Padiyola, the CMS Missionaries withdrew themselves from the Syrian Church and the Mission of Help came to termination in 1836.

Following termination of the association between the Syrian Church and the CMS Missionaries, a small section of the community chose to leave the mother Church and join the Missionaries. The Missionaries also gave leadership to direct evangelisation in Kerala.

The Missionaries proceeded to establish an Anglican Church in Kerala, for the benefit of the section of the community that came out with them and so also the new christians, that accepted christian faith, by their evangelistic endeavours. The Anglican Church in Kerala remained part of the Anglican Church in India, for well over a century, until it became merged, in Church of South India, in the year 1947.

REFORMATION INSIDE Malankara Syrian Church

There remained a growing section of the people in the Malankara Syrian Church, that cherished the reformation brought to the Church, by the CMS Missionaries, but nonetheless did not desire to go out of the mother Church and wanted the dead wood to be cleared, in the mother Church itself. This movement was speer-headed by two ministers of the Syrian Church, who were also teachers in the seminary administered by the Missionaries, for imparting training to Syrian Clergy, namely Palakunnath Abraham Malpan and Kaithail Geevarghese Malpan.

MEMORIAL TO THE BRITISH RESIDENT,1836

A memorial signed by 12 ministers of the Reformist Group, including the aforementioned Abraham Malpan and Geevarghese Malpan, submitted a memorial to Colonel Fraser, the then British Resident in Travancore, in the year 1836, pointing out several unworthy practices in the Church and seeking removal of Cheppat Mar Dionysius IV from office, by withdrawal of the Royal Proclamation, in his favour. No notice was however taken of the memorial, by Colonel Fraser, as he was reluctant to interfere in the internal affairs of the Church.

Nonetheless, this memorial has come down in history, as the starting point of internal reformation in the Syrian Church. After the reformists subsequently attained a separate identity of their own and came to be known as Marthoma Church, centenary of this memorial was observed in the year 1936 and later still, its 150 years jubilee, in the year 1986.

MATHEWS MAR ATHANASIUSConsecrated Bishop, 1842

Cheppat Mar Dionysius IV declared that he would not give ordination to any one of the students trained for ministry in the Church, by Abraham Malpan and Geevarghese Malpan.

To steer clear of this impasse, Abraham Malpan sent his nephew Mathew, who was already an ordained deacon of the Church, to Mardin, the then seat of the Jacobite Patriarch of Antioch, to represent to him about the difficulties in the Malankara Church and seek consecration of himself, as a Bishop.

Deacon Mathew was a person of great ability and personal charm. The Patriarch received Deacon Mathew with great regard. The Patriarch invited Deacon Mathew to stay with himself, in his official residence, so that he could make an evaluation of the deacon, for the higher office sought by him. The Patriarch was very much impressed with the ability and sincerity of purpose of Deacon Mathew and he proceeded to confer on him, all successive ordinations from deacon (over again) to Bishop, under the title Mathews Mar Athanasius, in the year 1842.

16

courts went against Thomas Mar Athanasius.

In the final decision rendered by a 3-Judge Bench of the Royal Court of Final Appeal - two against one - the court evolved two principles, to determine the right to episcopal authority over the Church viz.,

(i) Consecration as a Bishop by or under authority of the Patriarch; and(ii) Acceptance of that Bishop, by the people of the Church.

Dionysius V had been consecrated by the Patriarch and the majority of the people of the Church, (represented by the parish-representatives who met at the Mulanthuruthy Synod in 1876), were held to be with Dionysius V.

It may be recalled here that Malankara Church was an indigenous, independent Church and it had only taken aid from the Syrian Jacobite Patriarch, for consecration of its Bishops. Nonetheless, the Patriarch’s overlordship of the Church was upheld by the two-to-one majority judges of the Royal Court of Final Appeal. This was, however, dissented from, by Justice Ormsby, the only christian Judge on the three-Judge Bench.

The reformists however stood firm with Thomas Mar Athanasius.

TITUS-I MARTHOMA(Consecrated by Mar Kurilos of Thozhiyur)

1893 - 1910Marthoma Church acquires separate identity

Thomas Mar Athanasius passed away rather prematurely, in the year 1893, without consecrating a successor.

The section of the Church that had stood firm for reformation and remained loyal to Thomas Mar Athanasius, became placed in a very difficult situation. Without a duly consecrated Bishop to lead them, the Church could become deprived of its apostolic identity.

At this difficult juncture, Mar Kurilos of the independent See of Thozhiyur graciously came to the succour of the reformed section of the Malankara Church. Titus, a younger brother of Thomas Mar Athanasius, who was already a Senior Minister of the Church, was consecrated as Metropolitan, under the title Titus I Marthoma.

With the consecration of Titus I, the reformed section of the Church, came to be known as Marthoma Church and acquired a distinct identity of its own, but rooted in the history and tradition of the past 2000 years.

MARTHOMA CHURCHThen and now

At that time, membership of the Church, was basically confined to Central Travancore and some pockets in the northern part of the State of Cochin. Ernakulam and Kochi were not on the map of the Marthoma Church.

Over the past century and more particularly over the past 50 years, Marthoma Church rode into distant out-reaches, not only in what is now Kerala, but also in the rest of India, as well as in the rest of the world.

A list of the existing Dioceses of the Church and presiding Bishops is set out below.Existing Dioceses of the Church

action was taken thereon, by the Government.

In the meanwhile, with another contending Bishop also on the scene, two distinct parties emerged in the Church, one holding allegiance to Mar Athanasius, comprised mainly of reformists and the other, holding allegiance to Mar Dionysius V, comprised mainly of anti-reformists.

THOMAS MAR ATHANASIUSConsecrated Bishop, 1869

While so, Mathews Mar Athanasius consecrated his cousin, a son of the late Abraham Malpan, as a Bishop of the Church, under the title Thomas Mar Athanasius, to assist him in episcopal administration and eventually succeed him, as Metropolitan.

PATRIARCH INVOLVES HIMSELFdirectly in the dispute.

The Jacobite Patriarch of Antioch considered the dispute between Mar Athanasius and Mar Dionysius, as one involving his own personal supremacy, in the Malankara Church.

In the year 1875, he sent out a kalpana, purporting to ex-communicate Mathews Mar Athanasius from the Church.

The Patriarch succeeded in getting the Travancore Government, to issue a Royal Proclamation in the year 1875, withdrawing the Royal Proclamation of 1852, in favour of Mathews Mar Athanasius and directing that any dispute in regard to rightful authority in the Church, has to be settled in civil litigation.The Patriarch himself arrived in Travanocre, in the year 1876 and stayed on for almost an year, consolidating his position and power, in the Malankara Church.

PATRIARCH DIVIDES THE CHURCH INTO 7 DIOCESES

The Church splits into two.

At a meeting of the Synod of the Church convened by the Patriarch, at Mulanthuruthy, in June 1876, the Patriarch divided the Malankara Church (comprised of his loyalists) into 7 Dioceses and consecrated 6 more bishops, to hold charge of each Diocese, giving equal authority to all of them, directly under himself.

With this action by the Patriarch, the Malankara Church became finally split, into two divisions viz., the anti-reformists, owing allegiance to the Patriarch (spread over the 7 newly created Dioceses) and the reformists, owing allegiance to Mathews Mar Athanasius.

THOMAS MAR ATHANASIUSRuling Bishop

1877 - 1893Church Litigation

Mathews Mar Athanasius passed away in the year 1877.

Following the demise of Mathews Mar Athanasius, Thomas Mar Athanasius formally took over as the Metropolitan of the Church, in the year 1877. Effectively, only the reformists’ division stood loyal to him.

Dionysius V, the senior Bishop in the patriarchircal division, commenced litigation against Thomas Mar Athanasius, to recover certain movable and immovable properties, held in his custody, as the Metropolitan of the Church. The litigation went through three courts viz., District Court, Alleppey, High Court of Travancore and the Travancore Royal Court of Final Appeal. Successive verdicts of

FIRST MARTHOMA FELLOWSHIPIn Ernakulam.

The first Marthoma residents in Ernakulam, as per available records are.-, (1) K.T.Thomas, a son of the late Vicar General Kovoor Achan, employed in the Government of Cochin, as a citizen (subject)

of that State; (2) Barrister K.K.Chacko, from Puthencavu, Chengannur, who later moved to Trivandrum, and eventually became a Judge

of the Travancore High Court; (3) Dr.K.K.George, younger brother of Barrister K.K.Chacko, a UK- qualified dental surgeon.These three persons and their families used to meet in christian fellowship, in Dr.George’s house, every week.

Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I, in the midst of them (Mathew 18 : 20).

The fellowship of this trio, might well be described, as the embryo of the Marthoma Church, in Ernakulam. Though we have not preserved any record of it, more entrants must have come into this fellowship, even at that time.

MARTHOMA GROUP IN ERNAKULAM -Strengthened

The next important entrant into this group, was Divan Bahadur Dr.V.Varghese, of Kozhimannil, Karakkal, Tiruvalla, who became Chief Medical Officer, in the State of Cochin. Dr.V.Varghese’s son Dr.Tharian Varghese, who was also a medical doctor, followed his father’s foot steps and joined Cochin Medical Service and succeeded his father, as Chief Medical Officer. Other Marthomites must have also come into this Marthoma fellowship, during this period.

MARTHOMA CONGREGATION, 1932.

In the year 1932, regular congregational worship service, according to prescribed Church liturgy, was commenced, on two alternate sundays in a month. In the absence of a resident pastor, these

20

The building was accordingly dedicated as Salem Marthoma Church, by the Rt.Rev.Yuhanon Mar Timotheos Episcopa (later Metropolitan Yuhanon Marthoma). In accordance with the undertaking, that the community had given at that time, we still do not bring dead bodies to the Salem Church, for funeral service.

A small place of worship of 40’ x 18’ dimensions, comfortably adequate to accommodate the small community of those days, was constructed in the new premises. The construction was completed in the year 1937.

Some restraints, in the regulatory laws of Cochin, prevented recognition of the new construction, as a Church. Therefore, the building was named as Marthoma Centenary Hall.

SALEM MARTHOMA CHURCHDedicated

Sanction was accorded later, by the Cochin State Government, to declare the hall-building as a Church.
