SMCC -യും സിറോ മലബാര്‍ രുപതയും

SMCC -യുടെ ജനറല്‍ സെക്രട്ടറി രൂപതാ അധിക്രുതരായ വൈദീകര്‍ക്ക് അയച്ച കത്ത് ചുവടെ ചേര്‍ക്കുന്നു.

രുപതയെ നിയന്ത്രിക്കുന്നത്‌ മേത്രാനല്ല; മറിച്ച്, മെത്രാനെ ചുറ്റിപ്പറ്റി നില്‍ക്കുന്ന വൈദികരാണന്നു കത്തില്‍നിന്നു വ്യക്തം. ഈ ദുര്‍ഗതി അല്ലേ കേരളത്തിലെ മിക്ക രുപതകളിലും!

Dear Rev. Fr. Thundathil, Fr. Vinod Madathiparambil, Fr. Johny Puthiaparampil and Mr. Abraham Augusthy,

On behalf of the National executive council of Syro Malabar Catholic Congress (SMCC), I'd like to bring the following matter to your attention.

Several weeks ago, the National President of SMCC, Mr. Savy Mathew, during a telephone conversation with our beloved Bishop Mar. Jacob Angadiath, inquired with him if SMCC would be allowed to conduct an official meeting of the organization during the convention at the allocated time. However, Bishop Jacob responded by saying that he would have to discuss this matter with the Priests who are in charge of the Diocesan Convention - Fr. Antony Thundathil and Fr. Vinod Madathiparambil and that he would get back to Mr. Savy Mathew. During a follow up conversation initiated by Mr. Savy Mathew, Bishop Jacob informed that the priests in charge of the convention are not in favor of SMCC convening any meeting and hence it was advised that SMCC need not plan to conduct any official businesses or meetings during the Atlanta convention.

Due to the above reason we would like to inform you that SMCC will not be conducting any official business or any type of meetings at the proposed time or any other time during the convention. It should also be noted that the National Committee of SMCC has not authorized anyone to organize or conduct any official meeting on behalf of SMCC or be a spokes person or an official representative of the organization during the convention.

You may kindly remove all SMCC related agenda from the program schedule of the convention and the proposed facility need not be reserved for SMCC any longer.

The above decision should not be interpreted as SMCC's lack of support for the convention. In fact, our National President declared the full support of SMCC for this convention during the kick-off meeting at his parish in Corel Springs, Florida where Fr. Thundathil was present. A number of current national and various local officials and members of SMCC will be attending the convention.

The National Committee of SMCC wishes you all success for this convention in full christian spirit and hope and pray that this convention may lead to more harmony, peace, tolerance and happiness within our Syro Malabar Catholic Community in the United States.

With prayerful regards and wishes

On behalf of SMCC National Committee

Syriac M. Kurian

(General Secretary, SMCC)
