[edit] Mathews Mar Athanasius Metropolitan

Thank you for contacting me. I was about to revert my edit before checking the diffs. As far as I can see, all instances of "passed away" that I changed to "died" are written in historical sections documenting a series of events in a non-culture-specific way. These should use the term "died". If we were to use point-of-view terms in each article according to what culture it belonged to, it would defy our policy of WP:NPOV and our aim to write as objectively as possible. If I had changed any instances describing the concept of death in the religion, I would revert them. Perhaps you could introduce a sentence explaining death in this religion (the term used, how it is seen, &c.). If you think I'm wrong, please WP:Be bold and revert my edit, or contact me again. --Oldak Quill 16:54, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thomas Mar Athanasius‎

Hi N M Mathew , I have noticed your changes http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Thomas_Mar_Athanasius&diff=prev&oldid=194587541 on Thomas Mar Athanasius‎ from Metropolitans of the Malankara Mar Thoma Syrian Church to Metropolitans of the Malankara Church . Do you think it is right to claim so , when there are more claims to Malankara throne , starting from Mathews Mar Athanasius Metropolitan era? It will be technically not right , when every episcopal church in Malankara have a right to Holy Apostolic Throne of St. Thomas ? - Tinucherian (talk) 05:05, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi, Tinu Cherian, The names Malankara Mar Thoma Church and Malankara Mar Thoma Syrian Church were adopted only after 1900. So the use of Mar Thoma Church before that time is not correct. Mathews Mar Athanasius was accepted by the Church and by the Government as Malankara Metropolitan of the Malankara Church. So his successor Thomas Mar Athanasius was Malankara Metropolitan. The court verdict of the litigation (1879-1889), was only about the Church properties, and it mentioned that the consecration, the authority of Thomas Mar Athanasius as Metropolitan and the properties of the individual parishes were not under consideration.(ref:Verdict Para 19 and 20.) So Thomas Mar Athanasius and successors can be considered as Malankara Metropolitans. (Ref; Canons Of the Malankara Church (1857) No.2 page 7-10). Also see the “History of the Name” in the article “Mar Thoma Church.” The Governement declaration of the head of the church was only to decide to whom the interest of a Deposit (known as Vattipanom) was to be given. Majority of the Malankara Metropolitans were not given any Royal proclamation. As per Canon, all successors of Mar Thoma I, of the ancient Malankara Church have a claim to be Malankara Metropolitan. All episcopal churches and Churches under foreign rule will not come uder this category.Neduvelilmathew (talk) 06:35, 28 February 2008 (UTC)(talk)

[edit] Malankara Metropolitan

Dear Mathew ,

I read your reply.You said that Mar Athanasios was not the Malankara Metropolitan.But in fact he was.In 1846 Mar Dionysious IV (Malankara Metroplitan),gave away his power and position to Yuyakkim Mar Koorilose,a Metropolitan from Antioch.Thus he became the temporary Malankara Metropolitan.Mar Athanasios filed a case against him.In 1848,the Kollam Panchayath(a commitee made by the king to settle the case) declared that Mathews Mar Athanasios was the real Malankara Metropolitan,and in 1852 July 28,The Royal Proclamation agreed to the decision of the Panchayath and again declared that Athanasios was the real Malankara Metropolitan Arun V Roy (talk) 06:29, 3 May 2008 (UTC)


Dear Arun Roy,

“Metropolitan of the Syrian Christians”. This was what was written in the royal proclamation. We do not know why the government did not use the phrase “Malankara Metrapolitan”. Details of this are given in Malankara Marthoma Sabha Charitram Volume II, Pages 53-58, 77-78. Neduvelilmathew (talk) 05:27, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Titusji

Hi, you recently created the article Titusji. A quick google search shows to me that the subject is notable enough and that reliable references for it should exist. However, I think the article could use some work. I've left some tags on the article; in addition, is "Titusji" a first name - if so, does he have a last name? I think a little more context and perhaps some references would be helpful to ensure that the article is not deleted. Thanks for contributing, CrazyChemGuy (talk) 20:40, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

After entering the introduction to this article, instead of clicking the preview, I clicked the save page. And so the edit conflicts arose. Before finishing the editing I noticed the error and so I am making the necessary changes.Neduvelilmathew (talk) 21:16, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
