Oriental Orthodox Con-Celebration held
on Feb 4th, 2006
The Oriental Orthodox Churches in
full communion with one another held a joint Qurbono service, or
"con-celebration," at the Syriac Orthodox Cathedral in Teaneck, New
Jersey. Our Malankara Church hosted the event, with Bishops from
other churches reading from our Malayalam service book in English.
The Bishops in attendance were:
H.G.Mor Severios Abraham - Malankara Syrian
Orthodox Church
H.E.Archbishop Khajag Barsamian - Armenian Orthodox Church
H.G.Bishop David - Coptic Orthodox Church
H.E.Archbishop Cyril Aphrem - Syriac Orthodox Church
H.E.Archbishop Matthias - Ethiopian Orthodox Church
H.E.Archbishop - Titus Yeldho - Malankara Syrian Orthodox Church
H.E.Archbishop - Gregorios Yohanna - Syriac Orthodox Church
Many of our youth participated and our new Northeast
regional choir group did a marvelous job. Pictures will be
posted as they become available.

Ft. Lauderdale area on Feb 5th, 2006 under the leadership of H.E.
Yeldo Mor Teethose, Archbishop, to celebrate Qurbono for the first
time in the area. A report indicates that over 100 people attended

come...
Ninevah Lent Feb. 6-8, 2006
Partake in the fast commemorating the
events at Ninevah associated with Jonah. God so loved the Ninevites
that he led a reluctant Jonah by the hand to the city gates (via a
"great fish") to preach repentance and the forgiveness of sins. The
city was saved. Recall that Ninevah is in present day Iraq. Pray
that our Christian brothers and sisters and the entire nation are
saved from their present trials!
