Rev. K.T. George

Rev. K.T. George, Kidangalil, Kozhenchery, Kerala was in the Gurukul campus for few days. He was visiting his son Dr. George Zacharia. K.T. George achen was my vicar about forty four years back, when I was a member of the Salem Mar Thoma Church, Poovanpara, Konny. Achen was an young and energetic minister particularly interested in the spiritual formation of the young people. During his ministry, for the first time in the history of our Church, six youngsters participated in the Dedication Service at the Kozhencherry Mar Thoma Church, which was a new feature introduced as a programme of the Maramon Convention. This kind of dedication was to encourage young members to commit their lives for the service of the Church. I was one among those six. During those days the Mar Thoma church experienced a shortage of achens and through this Dedication Programme not only that the Church could identify and encourage those who are willing to join the ministry but also it strengthened one's commitment to Christ. Now George achen is 83, failing in his memory, but cheerful as ever.
