| Summary: | Palliyogam is a unique heritage and contribution of the St. Thomas' Christians to the universal Church. In this article, Fr. Palathinkal Varghese "attempts to make an appraisal of the ancient heritage, namely, Palliyogam of the church sui iuris, that is, Syro-Malabar Major Archiepiscopal Church." He treats how the concept of palliyogam originated in the Hindu cultural and social background and what were the salient features of the same. Further, the nature and objectives of the Palliyogam, and the three kinds of yogam of the SMMAC are briefly but comprehensively discussed: "i) palliyogam (parish assembly or tharakoottam), ii) pradesika yogam (regional assembly or nattukoottam), and iii) mahayogam/desiyayogam/sabhayogam (general assembly or pothukoottam). Palliyogam - parish assembly was considered to be the basic unit of ecclesial communion. The heads of families and priests participated in this assembly" (2.1). By way of treating the CCEO c. 295 the author affirms, "The yogam is a canonical institute or an organ that assists the governance of the parish" (3.1). |
