At the outset, I must congratulate Mr. Chinnaraj Joseph, for his exemplary leadership qualities. He has shown great determination, courage and conviction in this hour of crisis. We the old students are with you. Please continue to fight for Justice. The struggle must go on until the rights are established and injustice eradicated.
As an alumni of the college, I have been closely watching the happenings for the last few days. It really pains me that once a college of great REPUTE has now become a laughing stock . I strongly feel that the college has lost its missionary zeal . The very objective of the college has been defeated. This is an ugly sign . This is mainly because of the activities of some unscrupulous elements like the Bursar and his group plus the Bishop (Rt. Rev Christopher Asir) and his group for their own interest.
It is really disheartening to note that even few professors take side with evil. They are supposed to be the role models and teach values to the students and be true to the college.
I am deeply ashamed of Bishop, for his unruly behaviour . As a head of the Church, he should set himself high standards (what Christ has taught) instead of involving in such obnoxious activities. He should better concentrate on spreading the Gospel rather than stoop down to such crooked activities. (Lust for money, Lust for position, Lust for power). He’s like a hireling. What does the hireling care for? The hire (money)! That’s his only motivation, just what he can get out of it. As far as he is concerned, people are just “dumb sheep’ and that’s the attitude of the hireling.
A godly leader is one who seeks responsibility. A wicked leader is one who seeks authority. The Apostle Peter admonishes leadership who might be tempted to reach for authority.
A good leader is concerned about FEEDING the flock, but a bad leader is concerned about fleecing the flock. God says loud and clear “ AVOID THAT KIND OF LEADERSHIP.. those that fleece the flock, those that use the sheep to serve their own ends and needs” (read Micah 3: 0,11)
“Don’t think you are a lord over God’s heritage, but be examples to the flock” (I Peter 5: 2,3pph). Church leaders are not appointed by God to exercise autocratic powers over the Church.
We are under no obligation to follow an evil leader. We must avoid those church leaders who mistreat the flock. When a leader starts grasping for authority, we must quit follow him and he will lose his leadership.
One of the ways God disciplines an erring and bad leader is when the people stop following. “FOLLOW THAT WHICH IS GOOD… He that doeth good is of God; but he that doeth evil has not seen God” (3 Jn 11) .
God tells us if we allow false leadership to remain in power, both leaders and people will be cast down into destruction.
We pray that God almighty to deal with the Bishop and his family and bring them to repentance.
This college has produced many a successful, eminent, versatile and prudent leaders. I therefore, appeal to all the old and present students to join hands with Mr. Chinnaraj Joseph, in this hour of crisis and save the alma mater.
Dear friends, if we keep quiet now, then we are accountable to God and our sons and daughters are one day going to study in this great institution. I, therefore, humbly request everyone to be a part of this great revival.
This is going to be a decisive moment in the History of this great Institution. A moment of Truth. A moment of Victory.
I appeal to the Principal to detach this great Institution from the Diocese for the betterment of the society and uphold the true missionary zeal. Let this college be free from the clutches of the evil church leaders.
“SUCCESS DOESN’T MEAN WINNING EVERYTIME, BUT RISING UP EVERYTIME WE FALL”
I pray to the Lord Almighty to grant you wisdom, patience, courage to overcome this crisis.
JOHN PAUL,
Alumnus.
