While addressing as the Chief Guest at the North East Regional Conference of the Women’s League, a vital spiritual organization of the Malankara Archdiocese of the Universal Syrian Orthodox Church in North America, His Grace Dr.Abraham Mor Severios, the Regional Metropolitan of Ankamaly(Kerala) stated that the women of the church are coheirs and inseparable partners & companions in building up the Holy Church.

Rev.Fr.Varghese Paul (Vicar of White Plains St. Mary's and Personal Secretary to the Archbishop) aroused the audience that the period of great lent is a period of self purification for the faithful.

A New Concept for Democracy and Power Needed: Dr. Coorilos Geevarghese

Invitation

The Hindu            Times of India         Deshabhimani

Madhayamam         Madhyamam         Mangalam

Kaumudi         Manorama

THIRUVANATHAPURAM: At a time when the subaltern population of India is dreaming of a new civil society beyond traditional political boundaries, the need of the hour is a new concept of the State, democracy, and power, the bishop of the Niranom diocese Geevarghese Mar Coorilos has said.

He was delivering the G. Rajeshkumar memorial lecture on the topic ‘Media and people's agitations' at the Thiruvananthapuram Press Club on Thursday.

The media, which has the power to make or break a movement, should ask itself which face of India it is projecting. Large sections of the media projected Anna Hazare's anti-corruption movement as a never-before phenomenon. The hype and the hysteria generated on this was incredible. Similar was the treatment given to the agitation by Baba Ramdev.

“But which were the faces seen associated with such movements? Middle-class intellectuals, academics, and human rights activists. Most of them belonged to the upper castes. When a team was set up to draft a bill, there was no place in it for a Dalit, for the religious minorities, and there was no woman there,” he said.

The faces commonly seen in discussions on TV channels were the same. He asked where the faces and voices of the Adivasis, their women, the Dalits, and the fishermen were. “A fresh concept of a people's movement is needed; one from the perspective of the victims, the oppressed” he said.

Conventional political parties had failed the subaltern population of India. There was nothing left in the Left politics and there was nothing right with the Right, he pointed out.

“The CPI(M) views any new type of public movement with suspicion and tries to suppress it. Chengara is a good example,” Bishop Coorilos said.

“Why are mainstream political parties afraid of, say, a Gothra Mahasabha? Why is their sense of democracy not sought to be understood? What is wrong with a decentralised notion of power? Not the World Bank's People's Planning,” he pointed out.

Tools of Marxian analysis developed mostly for Europe could not be applied as such to India. If the Left parties continued to ignore the caste question in the country, they would remain confined to Kerala and West Bengal. It was time the Left took Ambedkar seriously. It had not so far accepted his critique of Marx.

Caste inequality should be tackled alongside economic inequality, he added.

 Feast of Mid-Lent (•Elevation of the Cross)/King Abgar



Christianity, as local tradition tells, came to Edessa (modern Urfa in South-East Turkey) during the time of the Apostles. This is reported in a number of documents including the Doctrine of Addai, one of the earliest Syriac Christian writings, and Eusebius´s Ecclesiastical History. Eusebius tells that he visited the archives of Edessa and examined a correspondence between the city's king, Abgar Ukomo, and no other than Jesus Himself. At Mid Lent, the Syriac Orthodox Church commemorates King Abgar who, according to this story, was the first king to adopt Christianity, and thus Edessa became the first Christian kingdom.Here is the correspondence between King Abgar and Christ:

"Abgar Ukomo, the toparch, to Jesus the good Savior who has appeared in the district of Jerusalem, greetings. I have heard concerning you and your cures, how they are accomplished by you without drugs and herbs … And when I heard of all these things concerning you I decided that it is one of two things, either that you are God and came down from Heaven to do these things, or are the Son of God for doing these things. For this reason I write to beg you to hasten to me and to heal the suffering which I have …"
The reply, according to the same tradition, was carried by a certain Ananias:

"Blessed are you who believed in me, not having seen me … Now concerning what you wrote to me, to come to you, I must first complete here all for which I was sent, and after thus completing it be taken up to Him who sent me; and when I have been taken up, I will send to you one of my disciples to heal your suffering and give life to you and those with you." The story continues telling how one of the Seventy disciples was sent to King Abgar.


Annan Meets Syria’s Mufti and Representatives of Religious Sects in Syria

DAMASCUS,(SANA):The UN Envoy to Syria Kofi Annan said his mission is aimed at discussing steps that might help in ending the violence, ensuring the access of humanitarian aid and starting political dialogue in Syria.Meeting Grand Mufti of the Syrian Arab Republic Ahmad Badr EddinHassoun and representatives of the religious sects in Syria, Annan hoped he would help achieve what could contribute to making democratic reforms and enhancing respect of human rights in Syria.Annan wished for Syria to be secure and to invest the plurality in it to enhance reconciliation and tolerance and circulate them at the mosques and churches and across all the sects.He said that he spoke with the Security Council’s members, the EU ambassadors and a number of officials and opinion leaders in the world and called on them to cooperate to ensure peace in Syria.The UN envoy said that he met President Bashar al-Assad and some opposition figures, traders, businessmen and people from all spectrums of the Syrian society yesterday and found that everybody want a solution and a compromise.Annan stressed that the Syrians alone are able to solve their problems and that his mission is to help them do so.For his part, Mufti Hassoun called upon those who carry weapons and claim “peacefulness” to resort to dialogue, adding that those who have taken up weapons to sabotage their homeland in service of foreign agendas are not Syrian, because Syria has always been the country of co-existence where there is no difference between a Christian and a Muslim.In turn, His Beatitude Patriarch Ignatius IV (Hazim) of Antioch and all the East said that the lies and fabrications propagated by the instigative channels about the situation of Christians in Syria are untrue and mere illusions in the minds of some Europeans.“In Syria, we, Muslims and Christians, live as brothers and share everything,” His Beatitude added, wishing Annan success in his mission and stressing to work with him to help him achieve this.
