We are surprised to see your news
letter dated 06.08.2014 addressed to the churches. Some of the directions in
the news letter expose your double standard on many issues. We would like to
pin point some of them.
1. You have
instructed that the ministers should be called as ‘pastors’ and not by
‘reverends’. We don’t know when you got this new revelation. On the postal
cover received from CGI, sender’s address is neatly printed as Rev. P.J James,
State Overseer. Refer to the pastors address book. You can see many pastors migrated
to ‘reverends’ including you. We are having the copy of the Malayala Manorama
daily dated 07.09.2014 announcing to the public that one great Rev. P J James bas
been appointed as the overseer of CGI. We are also aware that the American Masters
have promoted all the Overseers as Bishops. We were very proud in that
promotion policy. We have the opportunity to challenge the Episcopal Christians
by boasting that we too have bishops.
You may also read the souvenir published last year. The American bosses were very proud to
introduce many such Bishops to us. For details you may also log on to CGI
Action Council blog.
2. You are
lamenting about the increasing drop outs from the CGI due to trivial reasons.
We understand your crocodile tears. Without consulting anybody you have
reinstated a pastor who was suspended by the previous management. You also lied
to the judicial authorities affirming that the decision to take back the
expelled pastor was as per the consensus arrived in the council meeting held on
19.04.14 & 22.04.2014. Council members vehemently denied that no such
meeting was held on the above dates. As a result what happened to Manarkad Church?
So many families of CGI Manarkad simply migrated to other churches. What
happened in Pattom Church? You promoted the pastor who swindled money and was
accused in a criminal case. How dare you preach that we believers should take
care of other members likely to go out of CGI? Let us know what moral right you
have in this matter.
3. It seems that
you are very much concerned about the high budget conventions. What about the
‘Convention Mamankam’ you are conducting every year. You have collected huge
amount from the believers but conveniently omitted to show it in the audited
balance sheet submitted to Income Tax Department. Then you preach that we
believers should be honest. Please refer to the previous special audit report
where we find the ‘ways and means’ resorted by the saints to loot the CGI
Society. But you conferred a clean chit to the thieves in an interview with
Believers Journal. You have also forgotten to publish the accounts of
construction activities undertaken by you, though we have demanded it on
several times.
4. We find that
of late you are receiving new revelations. We believers are accountable to the
local pastors by recording the details of Bible reading in the ‘Bible reading
Register’. We have to maintain a prayer book/diary and note down the hours
spent on prayer. Wonderful idea. We are also directed to support the churches
financially. CGI wants our help to expand your empire but conveniently forget
that the CGI management stealthily removed the believers from the governing
body. When it comes to the matter of
administration we believers are ‘untouchables’.
5. You preach
unity in the church domain. What about Mulakuzha and Pakkil divisions.
Discrimination against caste is prohibited in our constitution. But the saints
of CGI divided the believers and tied them at different stalls. Then you preach
‘we are one in Christ’. CGI management thinks that they can fool God and the
public. This will not last for long. “For the time has come for judgement to
begin at the house of God”. We sincerely advise you to remove the mask of
hypocrisy and come out as a genuine servant of God.
