Prof. D.S.L.'s bang on TRAVESTY OF TRUTH

TRAVESTY OF TRUTH 

 



The reported statement of the  Moderator of the Church of South India, G.Devakadaksham   that the management of the American College would continue to remain with the Bishop of Madurai-Ramnad Diocese (The Hindu,1905-2012)  cannot go unchallenged. It is nothing but  a subtle but dangerous attempt to present wrong information twisting facts. 
 
 
This glorious institution, founded by the selfless missionaries, through their sweat and sacrifice, has, right from its inception, been christian in character and secular in outlook and has always maintained a cordial and close relationship with the Church. But, it has never been a church-controlled or a Diocesan college.
 
 
In fact, the now four year old struggle is all about preserving and protecting this unique identity and individuality of the College. All the struggles undergone and all the sacrifices made thus far would become meaningless if, in the name of mediation, an atrocious attempt is allowed to be made to undermine the very basic character and structure of the institution and to throw its noble traditions to the winds. 
 
Also,the Moderator's statement on the legitimacy of the Governing Council convened by the illegal and unapproved Princpial and Secretary(either by the University or Government) is intriguing, to say the least and strengthens the strong suspicion of the motives of the actors involved.

THE CHURCH IS CREEPING IN... BEWARE ... IT IS WORKING ON A TIGHT GRIP TO SWALLOW THE COLLEGE COMPLETELY. THE NEW MODERATOR IS NO DIFFERENT FROM THE DEAD BISHOP, ON THIS COUNT. HE IS CERTAINLY TRYING TO LEGITIMIZE THE DEAD BISHOP'S GOVERNING COUNCIL IN THE GUISE OF BRING PEACE AND SOLUTION TO THE COLLEGE. HOW SAD. 

Is The American College going to acquire a standing comparable to that of the american college high school? that is disaster ...

  1. Friends:
    This is an eloquent description of the situation we now face, to restore American College top its proper setup. The phrase "Right from its inception (the College has), been Christian in character and secular in outlook and has always maintained a cordial and close relationship with the Church. But, it has never been a church-controlled or a Diocesan college..
    This states it clearly. WHY does the CSI need to have CONTROL over this 129-year ols College?

    I honestly feel so lucky that I experienced and graduated from AC when I did.
