Kandanad East Diocese is one of the 32 dioceses of Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church. Its headquarters is situated at Muvattupuzha.




History


Kandanad Diocese, one of the oldest dioceses of the Orthodox Syrian Church, was established following the historical Synod of 1599 in Udayamperoor and later became one of the seven dioceses (Angamaly, Kandanadu, Kochi, Kollam, Kottayam, Niranam, and Thumpamon) formed by the Mulanthuruthy synod in 1876.
The Kandanad Diocese was initially spread across the districts of Kottayam, Idukki, and Ernakulam. According to the recommendation of the managing committee elected by the Malankara Association held on 20 March 2002 at Parumala as per the direction of the Apex Cour, the Kandanad Diocese was divided into two – Kandanad East Diocese and Kandanad West Diocese.
Following the Supreme Court verdict on the Malankara Sabah case, fully imbibing its thrust and spirit, The Diocese of Kandanad under the Diocesan Metropolitan Thomas Mar Athanasius declared allegiance to the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church Constitution of 1934 and started working with the Church-leadership for unity and peace in the Church.
