With the blessings of H.H. Catholicos Baselios Marthoma Paulose II and with the collaboration of the Orthodox Theological Seminary, St. Thomas Orthodox Theological Seminary and the Sopana Orthodox Academy a two day conference is being organized on the general theme of Ministry and Mission in the Malankara Orthodox Church Beyond the Borders at the Sopana Orthodox Academy, Mar Baselios Dayara, Njaliyakuzhy Kottayam. The objective of the conference is to reflect prayerfully on the great potential of the church for witness and service in our world and particularly to explore the possibilities of alternate forms of ministry outside the parish as well as in mission fields. The reflections will have a practical edge with the intention to create a new awareness and sense of direction in the areas of theological education and ministry, dialogue and evangelization, nurturing the new generation etc.
Although the conference participants are mainly theological students, others who are interested in the discussion of the theme are welcome. Due to limitation of physical facilities we are unable to take a large number of peoples but those who are interested will get a chance to participate. Please contact us before 20th May 2016.
