To The Vicar and President, Canadian Mar Thoma Church Toronto -- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We, the Members of Prayer Groups 3 and 4 of the Canadian Mar Thoma
Church Toronto, wish to establish a separate Parish in closer proximity to
these Prayer Group Areas at the earliest convenience by 1st July 2001,
for the following reasons. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. The present Parish's membership has grown far beyond the capacity
of the existing church building and facilities. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. The present church's location is a great distance away from these
Prayer Group Areas. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Extensive efforts by the Parish to establish a large enough
centrally located church facility have not materialised for the last
five years. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. The number of member families in the above mentioned Prayer Groups
has grown, and become large enough to form a self-supporting Parish. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Therefore, in accordance with a unanimous decision taken by Prayer
Groups 3 and 4 Members on 15th December 2000, we the undersigned adult
Members of these Prayer Groups hereby request your kind approval,
assistance, and blessings for us to accomplish this our cherished goal.
Furthermore, we also request that this be presented in a forthcoming
Parish General Body meeting, to seek the General Body's recommendation
to forward this Application for the Diocesan Bishop's approval and
appropriate further action. |
