Treffen der CSI-Indien Partnerschafts-Interessierte in St. Georgen
A long journey to St. Georgen through the Black Forests. Something very special happened at Feldberg where the above Foto is taken.
Pfr. Victor Joshua aus der CSI, Pfr. Wolfgang Kammerer und Ökumene und Anny Ravinder are standing in front of a Restaurant, where I, Timothy by oversight left back my Ring (with nine precious stones...) on the toilet shelf while going to St. Georgen and found it back after 8 hours in the same place in order and tact on our return journey. Amazing isn't it! This could happen only in this part of the World. Hats off for Deutschland!

Visit of Mrs. Mrinalini David in Baden und Stuttgart, EMS
Our marvellous experiences that we have lived through this programme once again reminds us and all the readers, how much more there is yet to learn from the German Church Congregations and the vice versa. And how much more beautiful places there are here, in this part of the world for us to see and relish. Our ecumenical Learning has given more clarity to our thought and has sharpened our Vision for a common Witness. There are immense possibilities for us to learn from each other and thereby mutually be benefited from each other.
We should put our heads and hearts together to tap the vast capabilities that are inside and around us, to bring out the ‘Divine Spark’ from within us. Ecumenism facilitates this process through mutual learning for mutual enrichment. From our experience as ecumenical co-workers in Baden we stand witness to this. The ‘Intellectual Horse Power and energy that we posses could also be invested more in the area of ecumenical and mission activities. It could also be in the form of Resource exchange, sharing of ideas, common Liturgy, exchange of Persons of various disciplines etc….
Last but not the least…
Many people have contributed towards this programme without whom it would have never been possible. We convey our heart felt thanks to Rev. Stockmeier, Rev. Labsch and their dynamic Team for all the support. We express our thanks and gratitude to our Bishop Dr. Dorai for having sent Mrs. David and Rev. Mrs. Sudamani Dorai who could not come to Germany due to medical reasons. We have missed her very much.

Church of South India celebrates its diamond jubilee
CHENNAI: The role of the Church of South India in promoting education, health and Tamil was lauded as it celebrated its diamond jubilee here on Thursday.
With 40 lakh members in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Pondicherry and the Jaffna province of Sri Lanka, the Church is the oldest and largest ecumenically united in Asia. Minister of State for Railways R. Velu called upon Christian leaders to go one step further and work for the unification of the church across India. "I appeal to all the bishops, why confine your unification to South India alone? Maybe, before your platinum jubilee, the 'S' will be removed and you will become the Churches of India," he said.
Pointing out that Tamil Nadu had taken the lead in providing religious minorities with reservation in education and employment, he encouraged representatives of the church from other southern States to ask for similar reservation in their States.
Finance Minister K. Anbazhagan appreciated the role of Christianity in promoting Tamil, recalling the contribution of the 18th century missionary Bartholomew Ziegenbalg, a pioneer in Tamil printing.
In continuation of its service, and as part of its diamond jubilee celebrations, the church has come out with a 10-point manifesto, including a commitment to create an endowment of Rs. 1 crore for the education of 120 underprivileged boys and girls.
The Prince of Arcot, Nawab Mohammed Abdul Ali, urged Christians and Muslims to act as brothers and sisters, saying people of all faiths should fight against terrorism in the name of religion.
