The 244th Thanksgiving Service of the Church of South India (CSI) - Tirunelveli Diocese was held with great reverence and celebration, marking a significant milestone in the diocese's rich history. Tirunelveli, historically known as a hub for missionaries serving the Upcountry areas of Sri Lanka, hosted this grand event.
With the esteemed invitation of CSI Bishop of Tirunelveli Diocese, Rt. Rev. Dr. ARGST Barnabas, the service was graced by his presence and leadership. Adding to the significance of the occasion, Rt. Rev. Nishantha Fernando, the Bishop of the Diocese of Kurunegala, also attended, further strengthening the bonds between the two dioceses.
A notable highlight of the event was the formation of a partnership between the Theological College of Lanka (TCL) and the Tamilnadu Theological Seminary (TTS). This collaboration is set to foster greater theological education and exchange, benefiting both institutions and the broader Christian community.
The 244th Thanksgiving Service was a profound moment of reflection, gratitude, and unity, celebrating the enduring legacy and future aspirations of the CSI - Tirunelveli Diocese.
