(June 10, 2011) The new head of the Syro-Malabar Church has called upon the people
to maintain unity among Christian denominations and other faiths. “Unity and love
among religions and among the Christian denominations should be maintained for the
greater good of mankind,” Major Archbishop George Alencherry of Ernakulam-Angamaly
said at St. Mary’s Metropolitan Cathedral Church in Changanassery, in southern India’s
Kerala state. He also asked the people to serve the country earnestly even while
carrying forward their spiritual fulfilment. Earlier, the Major Archbishop was received
at the Central Junction there by a large gathering of people. He was later led to
the church and was welcomed by Archbishop Mar Joseph Perumthottam of Changanassery.
