Apostolic Benediction to our beloved Metropolitans, Venerable Corepiscopos, Esteemed Priests, Reverend Deacons and Respected Faithful of our Jacobite Syrian Christian Church, India. With immense pleasure we inform you the following: Our Jacobite Syrian Christian Association in India at it's General Meeting held on July 6, 2002 unanimously resolved to request us to consecrate and appoint our beloved Metropolitan His Eminence Bar Regesh Mor Dionysius Thomas as Catholicose for the churches which are members of this Association. The Regional Synod of our Jacobite Syrian Christian Church there also endorsed this resolution of the Association and requested us that the wish of our people in India may please be granted. We considered the matter prayerfully and informed all our beloved Metropolitans who are members of our Holy Universal Synod. Majority of Metropolitans gave us their opinion agreeing to the consecration of His Eminence Mor Dionysius Thomas as Catholicose. On July 26, 2002 during the Holy Qurbana celebrated by us at our St. Peter's and St. Paul's Patriarchal Cathedral at the St. Aphrem Monastery, Marrat Seydnaya, Damascus, Syria, we consecrated His Eminence Mor Dionysios Thomas as the Catholicose of our Jacobite Syrian Christian Church in India. By our mediation, the Holy Spirit called him "Baslios", Many Metropolitans, Priests, Monks, Deacons and the faithful from several places around the world attended this consecration ceremony. Their Eminences the Metropolitans who shared with us in this consecration have put their names and signatures below. Our self, other Fathers and all other Clergy and people with one accord proclaimed aloud "OXIOS" for Mor Baselios Thomas I to be the Catholicose of our Jacobite Syrian Christian Church in India...
