We record our thanks with appreciation to the Chairpersons, Conveners and members of all these Committees for their commitment. The Special Synod Sessions were called in 2015 at the LITE Auditorium to deliberate upon the constitutional amendments and bye-laws on 8th April 2015 and to consider and approve the bifurcation of North Kerala Diocese and South Kerala Diocese on 9th April 2015. 1. Constitutional Amendments and Approval of bye-laws: Already in the 33rd Synod Session held at Kanyakumari in January 2012, the Synod of the Church of South India had resolved in its Resolution No. S 2012-24,2, to bring about amendments in the Constitution of the Synod and the 34th Synod Session held at Vijayawada in January 2014 had resolved in its Resolution No. S 2014-21,2, to ask the concerned committees to study the possibility of the term of the Synod to be extended to three years instead of two. Acting on the above resolutions, the Working Committee of the Synod that met on13th June 2014, through its Resolution No. WC 2014-05 resolved to hasten the process of drafting the bye-laws. The Executive Committee, that met on 20th and 21st October 2014, through its Resolution No. EC 2014-14, formed a Committee to draft the bye-laws to the Constitution and propose certain amendments to the Constitution. The bye-laws, resolutions of the Church of South India - GENERAL SECRETARY’S REPORT 2 proposed alterations and additions to the Constitution of the CSI were the fruition of the commitment and hard work of the Committee members, Prof. George Koshy, Most Rev. Dr. G. Dyvasirvadam and Adv. K. I. Ninan, and the Committee appointed by the Synod Executive Committee, comprising of the Officers of the Synod, Rt. Rev. Dr. G. Devakadasham, Prof. George Koshy, Mr. Jacob Philip, Mr. Arthur Sadhanandham and Dr. Vimal Sukumar. The Constitution Revision and Bye-laws Committee presented its report to the Executive Committee held from 12th to 13th March 2015 and the Executive Committee proposed the Amendments to the Constitution, Resolution Nr.EC 2015-08 following Chapter XIII rule 2 (a) The Executive Committee frames the Bye laws to the Constitution 12.03.2015 & 13.03.2015 Resolution Nr. EC 2015-08 following Chapter XIII rule 3. The Church took on itself to pass the Constitutional Amendments and Bye-laws for the better administration and governance of the Church. The Synod had worked for the last 67 years without having any bye-laws to the Constitution of the Church of South India. The rules which were passed in various Synods as referral points were gathered together as a set of Bye-laws. Among the amendments proposed, an important amendment was to make the tenure of all governing bodies in the Church of South India uniformly three years in all pastorate, diocesan, synodical levels, from the prevalent 2, sometimes 3 or even 4 year tenures. The age of pastors' retirement was extended to 67 in keeping with the contemporary trends in the sister Churches, both nationally and internationally. To bring in democratic consensus in the elections pertaining to the Officers of the Synod and the Treasurers of the Diocese, the role of the Bishops' Council and Search/Nomination Committee with a set of prescribed qualifications were defined. However, the Synod or the Diocesan Council has the ultimate say in the election of the officer through an affirmative vote. The Special Synod that met in Chennai on 08.4.2015, following Chapter XIII rule 2.(b) passed the proposed resolutions on constitutional Amendments and forwarded it to Dioceses for ratification. And acting in accordance to Chapter XIII rule 3 it also approved the bye laws which became part of the constitution, with immediate effect from 08.04.2015. 17 Diocesan councils ratified the Constitutional Amendments, the Constitutional Amendments came into force from 16th November 2015. After a long legal battle, the Madras High Court found the Constitutional Amendments and the Bye-laws in order in the month of August 2016 and a Division Bench, headed by the Chief Justice ordered in December 2016 that the January Synod elections will take place as per the Amended Constitution and Bye-laws. 2. Formation of new Dioceses The Special Session of the Synod held on 9th April, 2015 was also called on to consider the bifurcation of two Dioceses namely, CSI South Kerala Diocese and CSI North Kerala Diocese, with the Church 3 Church of South India - GENERAL SECRETARY’S REPORT learning to appreciate the value and significance of smaller dioceses. The Executive Committee had recommended the bifurcation of the two Dioceses after a careful perusal and consideration of the detailed report submitted by the Bifurcation Committee, headed by the Deputy Moderator, the Rt. Rev. Thomas K. Oommen, which consisted of Adv. Robert Bruce, Hon. Treasurer-CSI, Mr. H. Arthur Sadhanandham, Rev. K. P. Devakumar, Prof. Vimal Sukumar and Prof. N. Selvaraj as members. Bishops Rt. Rev. Dharmaraj Rasalam of South Kerala Diocese and Rt. Rev. B. N. Fenn of North Kerala Diocese and the Officers of the CSI South Kerala and CSI North Kerala dioceses played an important and significant role in the bifurcation process and gave their fullest possible support. Following the report of the Committee, and the recommendation of the Executive Committee, the Synod gave its approval to the bifurcation proposals.
