Prof P K Kurien appreciated the ‘proposed activities’ selected by HYD unit of INAMS. He said if implemented in its right spirit, the Hyd unit could become the first one to start such creative activities in a short span of period after its formation. In his presidential address Very Rev John Thachamperil Cor-Episcopa gave his message based on Isaiah, Chapter 6, verse 8. “ALSO I HEARD THE VOICE OF THE LORD, SAYING, WHOM SHALL I SEND, WHO WILL GO FOR US? THEN
SAID I, HERE AM I, SEND ME.” This is the call for Gospel and Mission-…. Witnessing Christ! Eight coordinators were elected in the meeting apart from the current three executives.
