[@adipolimacha]

The malankara Sabha is rooted from Syriac upbringing. Therefore no one has the right within malankara church to claim a suriyani song is theirs. In fact it comes from Syriac Orthodox Church. And prior to divisions in the malankara Sabha we were all under the umbrella called St Thomas Christians. No church denies that st Thomas is the apostle who brought the faith to us.. Differences exist in the way of worship..I'm a marthomite and I'm proud of the reformation and my faith and practice. But at the same time I thank God for the orthodox and Jacobite churches who still follow a more orthodox way of worship so that some things can be learnt from them I.e suriyani songs, tones of chant etc. I think it's high time that we respect the differences in practices but unite together in our faith in Christ.

[@antiochsuryoyo5118]

I agree with you, as we all are brothers and sisters in Christ. However, flirting with denominations that are liberal in teachings (Anglicans) can pose a dangerous threat to the faith & teachings. I don't agree with the reformation doctrine, however, I stand with you in regards to unity in Christ, but at the same time, it should be exercised in spirit and in truth, not based on world politics under the guise of things like "feminism" and "equality", just keep that in mind.

[@johnputhumana]

Well said Ashwin! I am Jacobite Syrian Orthodox Christian! Your thoughts very inspiring! Pushing backward all the negatives and bad things happened centuries ago i wish our churches should unite as one! Amen Barekmor!

[@antiochsuryoyo5118]

John Thomas Yes I agree we should unite as One for we are ONE in Christ, however, certain teachings cannot be accepted. In the Anglican Communion (which Marthoma is part of), they have female "priesthood" and gay & lesbian clergy, very liberal in their teachings. Christ was not of this world and neither are we, so the Church should not accept worldly (liberal) teachings such as these! Marthoma Church does not have female priesthood, but a lot of people are supporting this. We must remain Orthodox in our faith, uncompromising to worldy beliefs and ideologies. I pray Marthoma Church will reunite to the Syriac Orthodox faith.

[@issac19953]

Merlin Benny Well the Orthodox Church is the apostolic Church meaning our bishops are successors of Christ’s apostles. St. Thomas appointed the Pakalomattom family, that archdeacon was elevated to bishop (Marthoma 1).He passed down the successorship to our Bava. There is no other successor of St. Thomas in India.

The question is not if the Marthoma Church was started in 1876 or the Malankara Orthodox Church established a Catholicate in 1912. The real question is that of the faith. We are in Malankara (India) Christians holding on to the Oriental Orthodox faith. In 1876, the faith was altered or reformed under the influence of protestant missionaries. If the Marthoma Church can shed all traits of protestant influence and return to its true Syriac Orthodox heritage, it will be a huge step.

[@HolyQurbono]

In personal prayer and prayer meetings,Catholics can pray in any style they want:they can shout like a Baptist,scream like a Pentecostal,raise hands like a non-denominational and hum like an Orthodox;the key is to remain in the Church in faith and truth, not deviate from the Fathers,respect saints asking their intercession,pray the Qurbono faithfully,pray for the dead in charity,read the Bible with the wisdom of Church not individualized and independently,love the Liturgy and praise the Lord.

[@HolyQurbono]

When a group of Christians were united, then separated due to differences, politics, geography, intrigue, etc. Then discuss and come to a common understanding, accepting each other as true and of the same faith, forgiving past sins to be One, Holy, Apostolic, and Catholic - that's reunion. The Orthodox and Jacobites had that for 20 years before their 2nd schism. You have some sort of union with the protestant Anglicans, and their communion. Opportunism is the nickname of the Malayali.

The Church from the time of Christ is One. Culture and local customs varied. When the first Councils met, they didn't argue over culture, they agreed upon the Faith. The Apostles when they went to Rome, Antioch, Spain, Africa, India, etc.. they assimilated the local culture and Christianized it. Yet, all these communities were One in Faith. Reunion means going back to that Union, as it should be. Malankara Re-union, was not only uniting to Rome, but all the Eastern Catholics, including Malabar.
