Cancer Hospital in Kothamangalam

One of a long time dream of our own Rev. Fr. Dr. Gheevarghese Kunnathu, MD was to establish a full fledged Cancer Hospital in Kerala. One of the obstacles standing on the way was to find a team to coordinate the work in Kerala. His dream will be materialized soon. The foundation stone for the new Oncology Hospital will be laid by HB Baselios Thomas I in the property acquired for the Hospital in Kothamangalam on Saturday, April, 14, 2012. This hospital will be the anchor for a Medical College, God Willing, soon. Gheevarghese achen invites everyone to attend the ceremony on Saturday, April 14. We congratulate achen and thank the almighty God for this blessing. More details to follow in Malankara World.

Malankara World
A Service of St. Basil's Syriac Orthodox Church, Ohio
Malankara World's focus is on our families. We want to help our families. Since family is a microcosm of church, it will have everything that a church focused website will have. But there will be more. We will cover issues that are important to families. What are the things that keep our members awake at night? Is that about their children? taking care of old aged parents? Relationship with their spouses? Breakdown of marriage? Health issues? Balancing work, family and spiritual life? Managing stress?

We will use a combination of technology and harnessing the resources of our people within our church to do that. To learn more, visit Malankara World website
 

Baselios Church at The Malankara Archdiocese Silver Jubilee Convention

July 22-25, 2010, Somerset, NJ
 www.MalankaraConvention.org

Baselios Church participated in a big way in this year's convention. Teams from our church competed in the Cultural Competition and in Choir Competition. We got a coveted spot in the historic 25-inmel qurbana. Our church members were the active members who served many injured and sick as part of the Emergency Medical Team. The official webmaster for the convention was our member and people could not say enough about the website. And the list goes on and on...

Silver Jubilee Convention is over. And what a convention it was! It was historic in every sense of the word. And Baselios Church, Cleveland was an active participant.

Our church was the only church from about half dozen churches that started in the archdiocese that actively participated in every aspect of the convention - from top leadership, to sponsorship, to participating in both the choir and cultural competitions. They were all capped by participation in the historic 25-inmel qurbana. Dr. Jacob Mathew was the altar assistant in altar #11. (This was a very coveted spot in the qurbana as everyone from the big churches, some with more than a quarter century of experience serving in the altar wanted to get a role out of the 25 available ones and were left standing at the steps of the altar platform. To make it more interesting (although I didn't know it at that time), Dr. Mathew was given the left most altar in the row. Our church gives big importance to the left side. The senior most occupies this coveted spot and the junior most occupies the right most slot. Most of the altars in front were manned by Rev. Deacons who come higher in spiritual hierarchy.) God indeed works in mysterious ways. There is more to this story. ....
