An open letter to Overseer CGI,Mulakuzha Chenganoor




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.
