  • Sapthathi Greetings to the Primate of the Malankara
    SAPTHATHI GREETINGS TO THE PRIMATE OF THE MALANKARA CHURCH (Dr Yakob Mar Irenaios Metropolitan) Kunnamkulam has given birth to four distinguished hierarchs in the Malankara Orthodox Church. Three of them are renowned as the Primates in its twenty century old history. The first of these Church leaders was Ittoop Ramban (later Joseph Mar Dionysius Pulikkottil I, who was a “Maharshi” in letter and spirit - a brilliant example of the rare fusion of Yogi and Church leader. in fact the ancient idea of a Church leader, which has gone deep in to the Nazrani psyche, is the Church father has to be a sanyasi par excellence, and a benign administrator and guardian and defender of faith. mar Dionysius was an “Ihidoyo” a solitary monk serving the Church. the belief of the people was that the head of the faith community was with the power to bless or curse. and so, the people listened to him and obeyed him as the representative of Christ. this was actually a unique understanding regarding. It is not surprising that God has chosen to start the first ever Organized theological Seminary in the Malankara Church, for the systematic preparation of Orthodox clergy. The second hierarchs who merits our attention is, Joseph Mar Dionysius Pulikkottil II, the founder of Parumala seminary and the Mar Dionysius Seminary, Kottayam. A man of rare leadership qualities, and intellectual acumen, This celebrated Malankara Metropolitan was called to lead the Church through difficult times. He was victorious in resisting the falsely “reformatory” teachings of the group, inspired by the Protestant missionaries. And it was he who hand picked the next Malankara Metropolitan - SABHA BHASURAN Vattasseril Geevarghese Mar Dionysius to be his successor to lead this ancient Church.
