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.

  •   

    4. Now the word of the Lord came to me saying,

    5. “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.”

    6. Then I said, “Ah, Lord God! Truly I do not know how to speak, for I am only a boy.”

    7. But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am only a boy’; for you shall go to all to whom I send you, and you shall speak whatever I command you.

    8. Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you, says the Lord.”

    9. Then the Lord put out his hand and touched my mouth; and the Lord said to me, “Now I have put my words in your mouth.

    10. See, today I appoint you over nations and over kingdoms, to pluck up and to pull down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.”

    7. But each of us was given grace according to the measure of Christ’s gift.

    8. Therefore it is said, “When he ascended on high he made captivity itself a captive; he gave gifts to his people.”

    9. (When it says, “He ascended,” what does it mean but that he had also descended into the lower parts of the earth?

    10. He who descended is the same one who ascended far above all the heavens, so that he might fill all things.)

    11. The gifts he gave were that some would be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers,

    12. to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ,

    13. until all of us come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to maturity, to the measure of the full stature of Christ.

    14. We must no longer be children, tossed to and fro and blown about by every wind of doctrine, by people’s trickery, by their craftiness in deceitful scheming.

    15. But speaking the truth in love, we must grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ,

    16. from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by every ligament with which it is equipped, as each part is working properly, promotes the body’s growth in building itself up in love. The Old Life and the New

    1. Now as an elder myself and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, as well as one who shares in the glory to be revealed, I exhort the elders among you

    2. to tend the flock of God that is in your charge, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion but willingly, as God would have you do it—not for sordid gain but eagerly.

    3. Do not lord it over those in your charge, but be examples to the flock.

    4. And when the chief shepherd appears, you will win the crown of glory that never fades away.

    20. Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, and kneeling before him, she asked a favor of him.

    21. And he said to her, “What do you want?” She said to him, “Declare that these two sons of mine will sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your kingdom.”

    22. But Jesus answered, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink?” They said to him, “We are able.”

    23. He said to them, “You will indeed drink my cup, but to sit at my right hand and at my left, this is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.”

    24. When the ten heard it, they were angry with the two brothers.

    25. But Jesus called them to him and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones are tyrants over them.

    26. It will not be so among you; but whoever wishes to be great among you must be your servant,

    27. and whoever wishes to be first among you must be your slave;

    28. just as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.” Jesus Heals Two Blind Men
