Anti-alchoholic quarter in Malankara Orthodox Church ..

Malankara Orthodox Church is holding a no-alchohol quarter during Oct, Nov and December of 2010.

this has been necessitated by the rampant misuse of alchohol for intoxication by the affluent, middle class and poor sections of the Kerala Society. The order (kalpana) read from the Catholica Bawa thirumeni talks of god's own land becoming alchohol's own land.

Kerala has during the just over New Year celebrations got the added decoration of being the alchoholic capital of the country. On Dec 31 st, 2009, Kerala consumed max alchohol in the country.

Youngsters and middle aged people who are falling prey to this menace due to their pitiable ignorance and have fun attitude, are unaware of the prblems it is bringing to the society and their own families and kids. Intelligent among them are unwilling to accept this weakness of theirs in public. Many marriages are getting broken because of this.

Let this Christmas be one of no alchohol, even wine not allowed, in Christian homes. Drug abuse and its de-addiction is also another important task for the church to initiate among the faithful.
