THE CONSTITUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE MAR THOMA PARISHES IN EUROPE (COMPE):

The Constitution of COMPE was presented with a brief preface. After detailed discussion the presented Constitution of COMPE was accepted in principle and the Sabha Council was authorized to study and make amendments if necessary with the approval of Episcopal Synod and then reported to the Sabha Prathinidhi Mandalam - 2018.

The Sabha Secretary and Clergy Trustee presented the following two urgent motions for His Grace the Metropolitan.

5

1. Our nation is shocked by the deplorable incident of the shooting down of senior media person Gowri Lankesh, an outstanding Kannada Journalist with a very progressive outlook. We have to remember that her courageous outlook for change led to her martyrdom for the cause of the freedom of media and democratic values. We proudly remember the historic fact of the letter written to the then Prime Minister of India Smt. Indira Gandhi by the then Mar Thoma Metropolitan Dr. Juhanon Mar Thoma during the days of Emergency when it was felt that the freedom of opinion and the press were in danger, in order to protect these great ideals. Any attempt to endanger freedom of media, whoever may be responsible for it, needs to be resisted. Central and State Governments have to take strong steps against such terrorist activities. Even as paying tributes to the enlightening memories of Gowri Lankesh, being cruelly shot down by criminals, the Malankara shares the sorrow of the bereaved family.

2. The steps taken by the state government allowing liquor shops near places of worship and schools by amending existing laws are painful and deplorable. The Malankara Mar Thoma Syrian Church places on record its deep concern about the attitude of the government to raise funds and resources at the risk of encouraging the addiction of the people for drinking and endangering the health of individuals and families.

Both these urgent resolutions were unanimously approved by the Mandalam.

Special Mandalam According to the Sabha Constitution Section 390 and as per the special notification, the following Constitution amendment was approved by the Special Session of Sabha Prathindhi Mandalam held on 6th September, 2017 at Dr. Alexander Mar Thoma Smaraka Auditorium, .
