Welcome To Melbourne Mar Thoma Church

A Brief History of Mar Thoma Church Melbourne Parish

The early beginning and growth of the Mar Thoma Congregation in Melbourne may be viewed in the context of several Episcopal visits to Australia from 1970. A homegroup of the Mar Thoma people was formed after the visit of Bishop Thomas Mar Athanasious in 1980. Initially, the homegroup met once a year and then it became twice yearly on a regular basis in various homes for Bible study and fellowship. Later we moved to a church hall in Vermont and started conducting Divine Services.

    1. Hannah prayed and said, “My heart exults in the Lord; my strength is exalted in my God. My mouth derides my enemies, because I rejoice in my victory.

    2. “There is no Holy One like the Lord, no one besides you; there is no Rock like our God.

    3. Talk no more so very proudly, let not arrogance come from your mouth; for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.

    4. The bows of the mighty are broken, but the feeble gird on strength.

    5. Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread, but those who were hungry are fat with spoil. The barren has borne seven, but she who has many children is forlorn.

    6. The Lord kills and brings to life; he brings down to Sheol and raises up.

    7. The Lord makes poor and makes rich; he brings low, he also exalts.

    8. He raises up the poor from the dust; he lifts the needy from the ash heap, to make them sit with princes and inherit a seat of honor. For the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s, and on them he has set the world.

    9. “He will guard the feet of his faithful ones, but the wicked shall be cut off in darkness; for not by might does one prevail.

    10. The Lord! His adversaries shall be shattered; the Most High will thunder in heaven. The Lord will judge the ends of the earth; he will give strength to his king, and exalt the power of his anointed.” Eli’s Wicked Sons

    11. Then Elkanah went home to Ramah, while the boy remained to minister to the Lord, in the presence of the priest Eli.

    1. My point is this: heirs, as long as they are minors, are no better than those who are enslaved, though they are the owners of all the property,

    1. मैं कहता हूँ कि उत्तराधिकारी जब तक बालक है तो चाहे सब कुछ का स्वामी वही होता है, फिर भी वह दास से अधिक कुछ नहीं रहता।

    2. but they remain under guardians and trustees until the date set by the father.

    2. वह अभिभावकों और घर के सेवकों के तब तक अधीन रहता है, जब तक उसके पिता द्वारा निश्चित समय नहीं आ जाता।

    3. So with us; while we were minors, we were enslaved to the elemental principles of the world.

    3. हमारी भी ऐसी ही स्थिति है। हम भी जब बच्चे थे तो सांसारिक नियमों के दास थे।

    4. But when the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,

    4. किन्तु जब उचित अवसर आया तो परमेश्वर ने अपने पुत्र को भेजा जो एक स्त्री से जन्मा था। और व्यवस्था के अधीन जीता था।

    5. in order to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as children.

    5. ताकि वह व्यवस्था के अधीन व्यक्तियों को मुक्त कर सके जिससे हम परमेश्वर के गोद लिये बच्चे बन सकें।

    6. And because you are children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!”

    6. और फिर क्योंकि तुम परमेश्वर के पुत्र हो, सो उसने तुम्हारे हृदयों में पुत्र की आत्मा को भेजा। वही आत्मा “हे अब्बा, हे पिता” कहते हुए पुकारती है।

    7. So you are no longer a slave but a child, and if a child then also an heir through God.

    7. इसलिए अब तू दास नहीं है बल्कि पुत्र है और क्योंकि तू पुत्र है, इसलिए तुझे परमेश्वर ने अपना उत्तराधिकारी भी बनाया है।

    1. I appeal to you therefore, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.

    2. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and perfect.

    26. In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth,

    27. to a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary.

    28. And he came to her and said, ‘Greetings, favoured one! The Lord is with you.’

    29. But she was much perplexed by his words and pondered what sort of greeting this might be.

    30. The angel said to her, ‘Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favour with God.

    31. And now, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you will name him Jesus.

    32. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his ancestor David.

    33. He will reign over the house of Jacob for ever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.’

    34. Mary said to the angel, ‘How can this be, since I am a virgin?’

    35. The angel said to her, ‘The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be holy; he will be called Son of God.

    36. And now, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son; and this is the sixth month for her who was said to be barren.

    37. For nothing will be impossible with God.’

    38. Then Mary said, ‘Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to your word.’ Then the angel departed from her.
