Cardinal George Alencherry, Major Archbishop and head of the Syro-Malabar Church, has convened an emergency meeting of the synod of bishops of the Church at its headquarters, St. Thomas Mount, Kakkanad, between June 12 and 16.
The official order on the synod meeting has been handed over to the synod members by the Major Archbishop, said an official communication from the Syro-Malabar Church here.
The synod is being convened on instructions from the Holy See after permanent synod members visited Rome early this month, said the communication issued by Fr. Antony Vadakkekara, Public Relations Officer and media commission secretary. Central to the synod meeting will be a resolution of the problems confronting the Ernakulam-Angamaly archdiocese in implementing the unified Mass, the communication added.
