A crucial synod of bishops of the Syro-Malabar Church will begin in Kochi on January 08 (Monday).
The sole agenda before the 32nd synod of bishops of the Syro-Malabar Church is to elect the major archbishop, said a communication issued by Bishop Sebastian Vaniapurackal, administrator of the church, on Sunday. The synod will be held at the St. Thomas Mount church headquarters, Kakkanad, near Kochi.
“Other issues will be discussed at a synod of bishops to be convened officially by the new major archbishop,” said Bishop Vaniapurackal in his communication. He appealed to the faithful to pray for the synod so that the bishops elected the most suitable person to lead the Syro-Malabar Church.
