Ignatius Peter IV - First Mulanthuruthy Synod

First Mulanthuruthy Synod

At the synod, the patriarch made many organizational and administrative arrangements. The major arrangements were:

• Formation of 'Malankara Jacobite Syrian Christian Association Committee' a representative body for the Malankara Edavaka (Archdiocese) and consisting of 24 elected members thus introducing a democratic set up of administration.
• New title called "Malankara Metropolitan" which was then given to Pulikkottil Mor Divannasios.
• Division of Malankara Church into six archdioceses and ordination of a metropolitan for each archdiocese.
