Kolenchery Church

Kolenchery Church or Kolenchery St.Peters and St. Pauls Church is one of the ancient Churches of Malankara Orthodox Church or Indian Orthodox Church. The Kolenchery Church has been in the news recently for the factional feuds that exists between the Official (Orthodox) and the Unofficial (Jacobites) factions. Spiritual heads of both the Orthodox and Jacobite sects conducted fastings and prayers in the nearby Chapels.

The court order has been ruled in favor of the Orthodox faction, as it clearly states that Kolenchery Church belongs to the the Orthodox Church on behalf of the 1934 constitution.  But the Jacobite faction is not at all in a position to accept the court order and they are using all types of protest to stop the execution of the court verdict.
