 ( even though the Mar Thoma Church, calls itself "reformed" and is in comunion with the Anglicans and does not fully suscribe to the Oriental Orthodox faith; they still follow a lot of of the Syriac liturgy and Syriac vestments. Let us pray and hope that they see the truth of Oriental Orthodox faith and the futility of having to "reform" the faith handed down by the fathers)
