30th Anniversary of Messenger

Mar Thoma Messenger – Celebration of the 30th Year of Publication
Mar Thoma Messenger, the official magazine of the Diocese of North America and Europe, has entered into its 30th year of publication in 2012. This was started as a small newsletter in 1982 and has grown to the status of a world class Christian magazine. Now Messenger is a media to propagate enriching Christian thoughts, news and views of the Diocese and Church, not only to the Diaspora Mar Thomites but also to the Global Christian Community.

In order to commemorate this special occasion, the managing committee has arranged a special release of the October (2012) issue Messenger at the time of Diocesan reception to Mar Makarios at the Westin Hotel, Los Angeles on Sunday October 7, 2012. This was a time to remember the paths through which God has guided this publication and also to thank one and all who have labored behind the steady growth of this magazine.

The Diocesan Secretary Rev. K. E. Geevarghese invited Mr. T. A. Mathew, the Managing Committee member, to offer felicitation. After a brief introduction, he invited the Diocesan Episcopa Rt. Rev. Dr. Geevarghese Mar Theodosius to release the special issue of the Messenger. Tirumeni with the words of appreciation released it and handed over the October 2012 issue of the Magazine to the Rt. Rev. Dr Mathews Mar Makarios Episcopa. This occasion was blessed by the presence of Achens and representatives of the Diocesan Council. The messenger Mangaging committee member Mr. Thomas V. Mammen and the first Chief Editor Mr. Abraham Mattackal were also present.
