Apostolic Benediction to our beloved Metropolitans, Venerable Corepiscopos, Esteemed Priests, Reverend Deacons and Respected Faithful of our Jacobite Syrian Christian Church, India. With immense pleasure we inform you the following: Our Jacobite Syrian Christian Association in India at it's General Meeting held on July 6, 2002 unanimously resolved to request us to consecrate and appoint our beloved Metropolitan His Eminence Bar Regesh Mor Dionysius Thomas as Catholicose for the churches which are members of this Association. The Regional Synod of our Jacobite Syrian Christian Church there also endorsed this resolution of the Association and requested us that the wish of our people in India may please be granted. We considered the matter prayerfully and informed all our beloved Metropolitans who are members of our Holy Universal Synod. Majority of Metropolitans gave us their opinion agreeing to the consecration of His Eminence Mor Dionysius Thomas as Catholicose. On July 26, 2002 during the Holy Qurbana celebrated by us at our St. Peter's and St. Paul's Patriarchal Cathedral at the St. Aphrem Monastery, Marrat Seydnaya, Damascus, Syria, we consecrated His Eminence Mor Dionysios Thomas as the Catholicose of our Jacobite Syrian Christian Church in India. By our mediation, the Holy Spirit called him "Baslios", Many Metropolitans, Priests, Monks, Deacons and the faithful from several places around the world attended this consecration ceremony. Their Eminences the Metropolitans who shared with us in this consecration have put their names and signatures below. Our self, other Fathers and all other Clergy and people with one accord proclaimed aloud "OXIOS" for Mor Baselios Thomas I to be the Catholicose of our Jacobite Syrian Christian Church in India...

"Issues" tag

@PPEMES: if you'd like to tag an article, especially with a non-standard and totally vague one-word "Repetitions", you're going to have to back it up on the talk page with some specific information about what's repetitious and how you'd like it to be solved so that the tag can be — eventually — removed. Thanks. Elizium23 (talk) 11:30, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

Proposal for moving the page to Catholicos of the East (Syriac Orthodox Church)

According to the Constitution of the Syriac Orthodox Church, the actual title of the head of the autonomous Jacobite Syrian Christian Church is Catholicos of the East and not Catholicos of India. Br Ibrahim john (talk) 10:37, 26 June 2021 (UTC)

Disagree. The title used by the Churh is "Catholicos of India" in present days . Not understanding the intention behind the page move proposal --John C. (talk) 13:13, 26 June 2021 (UTC)

Added reference in the article which clearly mentioning title of regional head of Jacobite Syrian Christian Church was renamed as "Catholicos of India" in 2002. So no point in going back in timeline and changing the title to an older one which is currently not in use and bringing unnecessary confusion among Wikipedia users and readers. Hence strongly opposing the page move proposal. --John C. (talk) 14:11, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
