The trust deficit the Jacobite clergy has in the Orthodox clergy and vice versa, I feel, is the reason for the stalemate in the CM mediated and other peace initiatives and talks between the two oldest Christian factions in Kerala.
Will Orthodox clergy be ready to give whole Orthodox and Jacobite parishes under the guidance of Jacobite bishops and be ready to be their deputies ? That is the way to instil trust and confidence in the other party.
The Jacobite clergy does not want peace dictated to them, it can never be lasting peace. Their argument is very simple, though not stated openly. Their forefathers also shed their sweat, blood and tears to build the churches for 1900 years before the split happened. *An honourable and respectable union is what they sincerely desire*.
Sadly, the orthodox top clergy, with no sincere intention to bring eternal peace, lacks the basic intelligence to understand this and *insists on dictated peace with the Jacobites*. Any idiot can see through this game plan of ours.
Can some educated and intelligent members of Malankara Orthodox clergy and laity together (we have many respectable public leaders) take leadership and initiative to replace the insincere people in the leadership to bring lasting peace in the United single church ? 🙏🙏👍👍
