Dear Xavier,

My name is George Mathew and I fully agree that it should have been ‘Geevargheese Mathai’. Knowledge has come too late and I hope that my son will name his chldren in tune with his heritage. I don’t blame my parents or even myself. I understand that we are all product of our times and circumstances.
For your information, I have today discussed with our Marthoma Church at Calgary about bringing in more Syriac into our service. I notice at the Messainic Jews fellowship, the folks there learn Hebrew wiht love eventhough thier mother tounge is English or Polish. If the Messainic Jews learn Hebrew wih gusto, then the Nasrani should learn Syriac with more gusto. (Do you see a rivalry budding again between between the Southists and the Northists?
