(1) Jesus Ministry -
Behold two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of David... [Repeated even though rebuked by the Pharisees]... Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him...
(2) Sunthroneeso (Enthronement/ Installation) -
Sometimes it is better to say nothing and open the eyes and watch..!! The setbacks of life can teach us to wait upon the Lord for His help and STRENGTH; faith produces perseverance... [James 1:2,3]
Future Bishopric recruitment candidates may be asked to sign a 'Declaration of transfer' every five years OR as and when the Synod decides otherwise !
(3) Hudaya Canon And MALANKARA -
There is nothing in the Cannon written by Bar Herbraeus regarding the Bishop Transfer in Malankara
During the reign of our forefathers this same subject was considered and discarded as unsuitable then. Presently, the faithful have spread different parts of the world and the provisional local govt. laws is applicable when acquiring assets. Any legal implications will have severe consequences in future !
Certainly, there is no presidents in giving a '14- Day Show-cause Notice' to an eminent sitting bishop to unseat His Grace from office to replace with an younger one !!!
