While surfing through the net., found this comment from Mr. George Thomas regarding our Kuwait Mar Thoma Parish.


What we have here in Chicago could be a good example for you to how to deal with the crisis.
When the Ist MT Church of Chicago grow leaps and bounds, they decided to form a new parish retaining the original one in its place. The Mother parish contributed a sizeable amount of money to find a new property and helped to build a new church for the new Parish. While the new church building was under construction, the newly formed parish held its service in the afternoon at the old church itself.

Once construction of new church completed the new parish started functioning there with members volutarily joined the new parish on their own will.

Your problem could be solved by retaining the original Parish and giving option to members to join the new parishes . The assets, and other valuables owned by the current church need to be devided accordingly or the original parish help others to build their own churches.
