Vicar’s
Message

In the 30 years since its formation, the Bethel Mar Thoma Parish has witnessed and established one of the most influential diasporas in Sydney. The unique identity as an ‘Eastern Reformed Church’, in the traditional lineage of Syrian Christian Churches, the Mar Thoma Church stands closer to both traditionalists and Evangelicals. The Mar Thoma church is evangelical in its faith, traditional in its framework and missional in its reflections. As long as faith keeps us inspired, challenged and motivated, we will eliminate divisions to develop strong bonds and nurture relationships. Sydney has become the preferred destination for people from South East Asia, as the government respects multicultural migrants and the country becomes polyphonic.
