Inaguration of the Writer's Forum

Under the banner of the St. Mary’s Malankara Syrian Orthodox Church, Vienna, a web-based “Writers’ Forum” was designed and inaugurated on Friday, 25 December 2009 at a public meeting organized in the church premises after the Christmas services and the Holy Qurbana.

In his presidential speech, Rev. Fr. Biju M. Parekkattil, the Vicar of the Church, proclaimed that the aim of the Forum shall be to foster writing skills of members of the parish. He hoped that by publishing their articles, poems, frictions, anecdotes etc related to Syrian Christian ideologies, all the members shall be encouraged to write more often which shall of course be useful to all those visiting the Blog as well.

Rev. Dn. Aji George, a theological research-scholar based in Rome, Italy, while inaugurating the Forum, categorically stated that it was a novel and innovative idea for the betterment of the members of the church and the readers as well. He thanked the Vicar and all those concerned for creating such a forum and wished the endeavour every success.

Chev. Kuriakose Thadathil, Sunday School Director, welcomed the audience and Mr. Eldo Palpath, Headmaster of the St. Mary’s Sunday School, Vienna, offered vote of thanks.
