Our Ecumenical Principles
The Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church approaches ecumenical relations with a commitment to Christian unity while maintaining our Orthodox faith and tradition. We believe that true unity comes through shared faith in Christ, not through compromise of essential doctrines.
Our participation in ecumenical dialogue is guided by the principle of "unity in diversity," recognizing that different Christian traditions can work together for common goals while respecting each other's distinct theological and liturgical traditions.
We are committed to promoting peace, justice, and human dignity through our ecumenical partnerships, working with other Christian churches to address the spiritual and material needs of our communities and the world.
