          Church of South India/CSITA                                                    19^th January, 2016

Sirs,

          Sub: Power of attorney granted to the Bishops and others by the Ex-Officials of

       the Church of South India Trust Association – Invalid w.e.f. 16^th January,

       2016 – Notice of intimation – Reg

This is to inform you that the term of the Ex-Officio officers/Principals who granted power of attorney to the Bishops and others expired on 14^th January 2016. They have not been elected to the Office of the Company again for further term of office. Hence they lost the continuity of officiating in the management of the company.

According to Power of Attorney Act, when the Principals of the power of attorney are not in the management of legally elected office of the company, any power already delegated to the agents by them beyond expiry date becomes invalid. Since the ex- principles are not in the management of the company as on 16^th January 2016, the power of attorney already granted to Bishops and others automatically became invalid. The ex-officials and the ex-management committee too have lost the power of delegating the power of the company to other Agents. 

          It is also informed that a new Management Committee of the Company has been legally elected to CSITA Management in which the Ex-Officials/Ex-Principals are not in the list of elected members. More over Ex-Officio offices for the Church of South India Trust Association are not approved by the Central Government. Further, according to the Memorandum of Association of the company, no member of the council of management or of the governing body of the Association (Company) shall be appointed to any salaried office. Hence the Ex- Officials being salaried persons cannot come to power or hold any office again in the management of the company.

          Therefore, you are by this Notice informed that the Bishops and other Power Agents shall not use the void Power of Attorney Agreements and carry out any finance and property activities of the respective dioceses further. No sale or lease or mortgage of CSITA properties in their respective diocesan jurisdiction shall take place until a new valid power of attorney is granted to the persons who shall be appointed for such purposes by the authorities who are legally authorized to do so. If you carry out any such finance and property transaction, you are doing at your own risk and you are solely responsible for the consequences and will be liable jointly or severally for all civil and criminal proceedings which may be initiated against those for violation of the provisions of the Power of Attorney Act and other governing Laws.

An amendment

An appeal to all Laity Associations in the Dioceses

An amendment  for closure of all Laity Associations is proposed

Existing Clause: CSI Constitution Chapter VIII – 5c

The Council shall encourage the formation and functioning within the diocese, of ORGANIZATIONS LIKE LAITY ASSOCIATION, Youth Movement, Women’s Fellowship, Socio-economic institutions, Centres for study and dialogue and Movements for Justice, Peace and ecological concerns.

Proposed amendment

The Council shall encourage the formation and functioning within the diocese, of fellowships like Men’s Fellowship, Youth Fellowship, Women’s Fellowship, Senior Citizen’s Fellowship, Christian Education, and Socio-economic institutions, Centers for study and dialogue and Movements for Justice, Peace and ecological concerns.

It is a direct and daring attack on the Laity by the Moderator & Bishops. who attempt to snatch away the rights and privileges of the laity which are already provided in the CSI Constitution. The General Secretary and the Treasurer of Synod  too joined the group in silencing 'Laity Voice'.

When the Church compulsorily collects subscription from the members for membership, the members have every right to have their own Associations/Unions within the Organization to protect their membership right and their properties vested in CSITA for their benefit. Indian Constitution too provides for formation of such Associations/Unions.

While the provision that “the Council shall encourage the formation and functioning within the diocese, of ORGANIZATIONS LIKE LAITY ASSOCIATION” is still in force, instead of encouraging the functioning, the Krishna Godavari Diocesan Council in which the Moderator is the Bishop, has passed a Resolution to withhold the membership of a person for operating Laity Association in the diocese for the welfare of the worshipping members of the diocese. The affected brave person is said to be sacked since he has raised questions against the Moderator. How a Moderator can morally continue to be a Bishop while nearly six FIRs have been registered against him in the Police Stations including on charges of misbehaving with a Pastor’s wife and how a Bishop can run an Educational Society in the name of Krishna Godavari Diocesan Educational Society using the name of CSI Diocese without approval of the Synod and whether the income derived from the society and foreign donations  received are credited in the Diocesan accounts and  incorporated in the consolidated statement of CSITA. Whether such income is declared before the IT authorities and Registrar of Companies?. Money collected for construction of shopping complex has not been credited to the church account and why unauthorized persons are allowed to indulge in such criminal activities with the knowledge of the Bishop.

Any proposal seeking amendment in the existing provision of the constitution shall be supported by proper and agreeable reasons for the amendment. No reason is put forth that the Laity Associations are Anti-Church or disturbing the peace of the church. Of course, these Associations expose the perpetrators’ corruption and kickbacks received from illegal sale/lease of church lands by land Mafia.  These Associations fight against the immoral activities of Bishops. It is the reason that the Bishops want to pluck the rights and privileges provided in the constitution for laity.

Therefore, all the Office bearers of Laity Associations in the Dioceses are kindly requested to participate in the proposed meeting of People’s Synod on Saturday the 28^th March, 2015 at Chennai to discuss and pass a unanimous Resolution against the proposed amendment which shall be sent to all the members of Synod with a request to vote against the “Anti Laity Move by the Synod”.

I request all of our members, Coordinators and  laity association members  in the dioceses to forward this mail to the local Laity Associations/office bearers WITH THEIR COMMENTS on the subject.
