| In his speech, Jiji Thomas suggests mass evangelism, personal evangelism and church evangelism (video below) |
Kerala Chief Secretary Jiji Thomson called upon Kerala Church to spread Christianity in India recently.
He asserted that true meaning of gospel was Go Spell - that is to spread the word of Christ.
He identified three ways to spread the biblical doctrine - mass evangelism, personal evangelism and church evangelism, that is churning out the right kind of missionaries.
A 16 minute video of the event released by Malankanara Orthodox Church shows him making the speech in the presence of Kerala Governor Sathasivam.
He starts his speech saying in English that he would speak not as Chief Secretary of Kerala but as the son of Malankara Orthodox Church.
Jiji Thompson, a 1980 batch officer, took over as the Chief Secretary early this year despite some opposition as his name figures in the palmolive oil controversy.
The religious minded IAS officer also gets frequently invited to functions held at Hindu temples.
