Orthodox church officials submit memorandum to CM

Sunday, September 18, 2011: Office-bearers of St George Orthodox Church at Puthupally here today submitted a memorandum to Chief Minister Oommen Chandy appealing him to implement a court order to end the standoff over ownership of St.Peter’s and StPaul’s church at Kolencherry between Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church and Jacobite Syrian Christian Church.
Over thousand members of the church staged a rally from the church, organised a meeting at Puthupally junction here and proceeded to the house of Chandy. The office-bearers flayed the alleged reluctance on the part of the government to hand over the administration of the church to the Orthodox church as per a recent court order.
