The officials have promised to solve the Kolenchery Church issue in the enxt 15 days, which has given a huge relief to the believers and members of this parish. Tension arouse between the two sects of the Malankara Church 2 weeks back due the dispute that prevailed on behalf of the owner ship of the Church. The Orthodox factions have the court order in favour of them, but the Jacobite factions are not able to digest the court order and they started agitation and protest. The Orthodox faction also started fasted near the Church which made the scenario more tense.
After a week of fasting, officials intervened in the matter and have promised to bring about a solution in the next 15 days. But HOW? Both the factions are standing firm of their decisions and it doesn't seems that there would be a peaceful solution for this. All the government has to do is to implement the court order which is in favour of the Orthodox Church. Even though the Jacobite factions are making claims over the Kolenchery Church with some other reasons which are not at all valid, they are sure to make strong protest against the implementation of the court order, resulting in more head ache to the officials.
The Orthodox factions have already stated that they have no objection in the believers of the Jacobite faction entering the Church and attending rituals and conducting mass. The only thing Orthodox factions demands is that no Priests and Bishops from the Jacobite faction should enter the Church. They have even stated that there would be no issues in the sharing of cemeteries associated with the Kolenchery Church. But the Jacobite factions (especially the leaders) are not at all in a mood to accept this offer and this leads to more issues as far as finding a solution in considered.
