way in rectifying the branding of the Church by certain sections as a money-making machine. It popularizes the contribution of the Church in the form of charity homes, old-age homes, palliative care
The Commission for Laity of the Syro-Malabar Major Archiepiscopal Church was formed by the Synod of Bishops on 12.10.2008. From its very inception the Commission has been organizing a slew of programmes and projects in order to fulfill its main objective of ensuring greater laity involvement in the ministry of the Church. These programmes are related to various domains of activity including social, educational, cultural, economic, philanthropic and spiritual. The most tangible impact of the Commission is that it could engender a feeling of oneness, a we-feeling, among the laity so that they feel that they are the Church and as such they have a lot to contribute in church activities, a lot to share since they belong to the same stock, the same family. Lay members of the Church have started feeling that they are an integral part of the Church like priests and nuns and that their views and opinions are taken into account. There is a general consciousness that the activities of the laity are to be coordinated at different levels, 8
parish, diocesan, archiepiscopal and international. The enormous resources of the laity are to be pooled and harnessed for the good of the society at large. The Consultation Council meeting of the Commission for Laity involving top-rated laity leaders of various walks of life, created among them a feeling that they too are responsible for the building up of the Church. They got a forum to frankly discuss common issues affecting the Church across the border of the states and the country. The lay public also got opportunities to ventilate its grievances and feelings about the hierarchy. Another significant achievement of the Commission is the formation of a human resource bank, a resource team of 25 members in every diocese to give the faithful proper training in the Bible, Theology and the Teachings of the Church. Promotion of a fraternity of entrepreneurs is yet another major area being explored. The commission is also taking steps to organize migration to Maharashtra. The Commission has gone a long
centres, homes for the physically challenged and mentally retarded, nephrology, and cancer centres etc to a considerable extent. Through its large network across of the globe, the Commission has been able to project the true image of the Church, the face that cares for the poor, the sick and the discarded. Measures are being taken to establish catholic townships and Liaison Offices in major cities like Delhi,Thiruvananthapuram. and Mumbai The International Laity Assembly held at Mount St. Thomas, Kakkanad, Ernakulam, from 13 to 15 April, 2009, was the first of its kind in the history of the Syro-Malabar Church. Nearly 300 select delegates including top dignitaries from various parts of the world attended it and aired their views and proposals regarding how the Church should be further strengthened with grater laity participation. Energized and motivated, the laity is looking up to Synodal Bishops to continue to give them proper leadership in faith formation and social uplift.

Main Points discussed: 1. Strategic action plans should be formulated and implemented with a definite time frame. 2. Task forces/Core groups are to be formulated consisting of experts in four key areas namely, public life, human resource development, youth participation and media development.
clergy and the religious should be formed. 9. Since 50% reservation is being offered to women in various areas, intensive training should be given to prospective women leaders 10. There should be a Website and e-magazine for Commission for Laity
even the noblest and most laudable services of the Church are not promptly conveyed to the public. Even the beneficiaries are not aware of what the Church does for them. Hence there should be centralized coordination and communication network regarding social and humanitarian activities
3. The social fabric weakens when the family system gets weak. When both parents are employed, the grooming of children suffers. One of the major focal points of the Laity Commission should be right formation of children and the youth. 4. Women deserve greater respect in the society than what they enjoy at present. 5. Empowerment of women is a solution for the increasing number of domestic violence. 6. Household surveys are to be conducted prior to providing training to empower women. 7. 50% reservation to women should be extended to Pastoral Councils and Parish Councils too 8. A centralized core group consisting of top-rated laity,
11. There should be media cells providing media training as well in dioceses. 12. The present gulf between the laity and the clergy is to be bridged at the earliest. 13. Diocesan Pastoral Councils and Parish Councils should have a common statute approved by the Synod of Bishops. Diocesan general accounts may be published in the Pastoral Council. 14. There should be a unified stance among dioceses when common issues confronting the church occur. 15. There should be a targeted action plan so that we have greater access to the civil service, judiciary, politics and the media. 16. There should be a Think Tank for the Church. 17. Due to communication gaps
conducted by dioceses and religious societies. 18. The community feeling promoted by the Church is often misinterpreted as communalism. 19. Stray cases of misdeeds and misbehaviour of churchmen are exaggerated by a section of media which, in turn, leads to blind attacks on the clergy. 20. Basic catechism text books, prayer books and marriage preparatory books are to be made available in English, German, Italian, Arabic, Hindi as well as in regional languages. 21. We have to identify leaders in religious and secular spheres of activity and provide them with adequate training through the formation of a Laity Resource Team. The LRT consisting of top-

rated laity having expertise and experience will provide training in faith formation and render assistance to the faithful at various levels in witnessing Christ in their lives.
22. With a view to promoting entrepreneurship among the laity, Entrepreneurship Development Centres are to be started. Individual initiative should be encouraged as far as possible. Entrepreneurship should be extended to women as well. 23. Health care is an area of prime significance. Non-communicable diseases like cancer, diabetes, asthma, heart/kidney failure as well as Parkinson, Alzheimers pose an increasing threat to the modern society. It is, therefore, in the fitness of things that massive awareness programmes are organized by the Church with active laity involvement and to develop remedial measures in various levels. 24. A recent phenomenon of direst consequences is global warming. Awareness programmes about this gigantic threat to life, are to be organized at various levels. Environment 11
protection shall be given due importance at the Parish/Diocese level. 25. Liaison Offices and SyroMalabar Centres are to be started in Delhi and Thiruvananthapuram, for assisting the Church authorities and the laity in their Government related
activities. This can also be developed as a Transit Centre for our people visiting these places. 26. Keralites, specially faithful from our community, after their settlement in Malabar and Idukki regions, have nowhere to go for the further migration for expansion of their agricultural projects. It is requested to find out new agricultural areas with the leadership of Church, in India, Brazil, Ethiopia and Australia, which are settlement-friendly. 27. Enhancement of sense of belonging and participation of the laity may require changes in our system. Change per se is a globally popular slogan, and in established environments it should guarantee tangible improvements. Syro - Malabar church being best performer in societies it operates, suggestions towards changes therein must proceed extensive analysis by the Commission for Laity.
