About this person
He was consecrated as a Metropolitan and as a Patriarch at a very hard time for the Syriac Orthodox church and its people and parishes and he worked very hard to re-establish the church initiations to where his people moved. He researched, wrote, translated, scripted, and published many scholarly works that included books on the saints, tradition, liturgy, music, and history of Syriac Orthodox Church.
