Celebrations of the

Ascension EveThe religious name of the Delhi Brotherhood is 'The

Brotherhood of the Ascended Christ' and so the

festival of Ascension has a special significance for

us. The Brethren observe a Quiet Day, two days

earlier normally Monday. Tuesday is a busy day for

prepara t ions and the ce lebra t ion begins on

Wednesday evening, i.e. the Ascension Eve. This

year it was 16th May. The Eucharist was held in

the open lush green lawns and the altar was set up

on an elevated stage. The garden was illuminated

with lights and chairs were laid out for people to

sit. Guests do welcome a cold drink before the

service as it unwinds them in the warm evening.

The Eucharist began exactly at 7.00 pm. Bishop

Col l in , our senior member, pres ided a t the

Eucharistic and brethren joined in concelebrating

with him. Bishop Sunil K Singh, the present

ordinary of Delhi also joined us and gave his

blessings. The Eucharist was sung, the gospel was

continued on page 2 column 1........ Children leaving school, much relieved from heat

Fr Ian in the U.K.

Fr Ian will be in the Scotland and

England several times in the course

of this year, as he will have to keep

returning for his treatment at St

Stephen's Hospital. Please pray for

him.

Brother Jaikumar takes chargeBro. Jaikumar has returned after completing his theological studies

from Gossner Lutheran Theological College at Ranchi. It is large

and beautiful city in the heart of Jharkhand State of tribal India

here a very large

Christian presence.

All tribes, Munda,

Oraon, Ho, Kharia

and Santhal have

large churches

spread out in deep

in ter ior and

fores ted a reas .

Often in the middle

of nowhere one

comes across large

churches, mission

hospitals, schools,

hos te l s , a b ig

convents and religious houses of Jesuits, Franciscans and Carmelites.

The response to the gospel since the last 150 years was such that

the Pope insta l led a Cardinal in Ranchi e levat ing i t to an

Archdiocese. It also has a large presence of Anglican, now CNI,

and the Archbishop of Canterbury made a great visit there. In the

northern India the Anglican Church is the most 'anglicanized' among

these tribal who recite large sections

of l i tu rg ica l responses in the i r

indigenous languages by heart and

spontaneously. All this rich history

of mission and now the intense

problem of violence from non-state

agencies there have been a source for

Bro Jai to garner the relevance of

theology among the poor and the

deprived and the disadvantaged of

India.

The Community Study Centre at Rajpur Road

proclaimed and the use of incense

added to the grace of the solemn

occasion. More than 300 friends came

for the evening. Many priests, both of

the CNI Diocese of Delhi and Jesuits

were also present. Peculiarly there is

always a threat of storm and rain which

had made us in the previous years to

rear range the ent i re event indoor

hurriedly, fortunately the storm passed

over Delhi only after midnight.

Af ter the Service there was a

fellowship dinner of biryaani and ice

cream. This we have offered since last

two years . The people grea t ly

appreciate this as it takes away the

burden to cooking later in the evening.

This is important as a lot of people have

to come from faraway places and those

who once l ive in the par ish have

procured houses in the satellite cities.
