From my interactions and readings of our past and present clergy, I am amazed at how constrained, selfish and narrow minded their thought processes are, how intolerant they are to criticisms or to any forward thinking .. 😳
It is very sad, I agree. It is high time we reformed our Orthodox Theological Seminary education of the Malankara Orthodox and Jacobite Syrian Orthodox church. We should seriously consider giving our clergy, past and present, Universal education, to help look at the bigger picture which will help them open up their minds, than just giving them narrow minded, religious Seminary education.
The goal of education is the advancement of knowledge and the dissemination of truth - J.F. Kennedy
Poor education and the unwillingness and prejudice to recognize learned, sensible, educated people is the root cause of all evils facing our church.
It is high time we did serious soul searching.. *True education is a great healer* ..🙏🙏
