“Liju Cherian’s news report on Mar Milithios visit to Toronto, Canada is amusing. His Grace is reportedly vising his aunt here in Canada. He does that every time he comes to North America. To term such visits as visit to churches here is an attempt to give it a justification to be away from their dioceses. Others are also doing this. One suggestion is that we split Devalokom into two divisions and move one division to Dubai and the other division to New York. Then these bishops can visit Malankara once in a while to refresh.
It is also interesting to note in the report that there is a St. Gregorios church and a St. Gregorios congregation. It is known to all that these two are fighting a case in the court for a long time. Metropolitans visit and make speeches, get kaimuthu and go. Why are they not taking any initiative to settle their disputes? Perhaps that is not fashionable.”
