No cloth to change...

The other day the door and window curtains of the bishop's house refectory was removed for a washing but without a spare set to cover the windows and doors!

To this poor situation i have put up a write up in Malayalam with the heading seen above. It amounts to the following: Seeing a poor women washing one end of her dirty saree in a river while wearing the other, Gandhiji left the unnecessary clothings and thereafter became the 'half naked fakir'. It was during one of his Bharath Darshan Yatra.

Jesus also exhorted his disciples not to take a stick, or a beggar's bag... and no extra shirt. In the same way the newly adorned archbishop's house and especially the dining room was made to adopt the spirit of poverty!

For the purpose of cleanliness, she was defrocked without a Krishna to save!

[This seemingly has offended the 'authorities'! That may be the reason for the passive attitude of the bishop in the dining hall today and the way the ministry paper was unusually sent by the secretary!]
