SUMMARY:Judgement on Seminary Case-1889
DESCRIPTION:In 1879 a case was filed in the district court of Alleppey by Bishop Joseph Mar Dionysius against the then Metropolitan of the Church Thomas Mar Athanasius. Mar Dionysius prayed to the court to declare him as the rightful Metropolitan of the Malankara Church and also requested the court to evict Mar Athanasius and his followers from the Old Seminary building in Kottayam. The final verdict of this case came on 12 July 1889 from the Royal Court of Travancore. Two Judges decreed that Joseph Mar Dionysius was the rightful Metropolitan of the\nMalankara Church as he expressed allegiance to the Patriarch of Antioch. One Christian judge gave the verdict in favour of Thomas Mar Athanasius because of his conviction that the Malankara Church has been an independent Church from the beginning. The Majority view prevailed and Thomas Mar Athanasius had to leave the Old Seminary and the properties of the Church\, because he upheld the autonomy of the Church.\nThe followers of Mar Athanasius got the Kottarakkara church without a duel\, they got the Maramon and Kozhencherry churches through court decision\, and was given the right to conduct services on alternate Sundays in five other churches. They put up small sheds in other places to hold worship services.\nInformation Courtesy: Mar Thoma Church Animation Centre & https://nalloorlibrary.com/
