The impact this man has made on me and my young family, has forever changed my life.
He was there for me in one of the worst times of my life. Thanks to him, I’ve been on a better path.

The decision to terminate Achen was not right. God put it in my heart recently that Achen will be back in our churches. Achen needs to be reinstated back into the Marthoma church.

Royachen is a blessing to all of us and allow him to continue in Mar Thoma Church. We will support him to continue in our church and in US. The action that has been taken by the bishop's are absolutely wrong and they may not understand the responsibility of a son to his parents since they are affected by the impotence of the church. We should continue our fight for the freedom and justice in churches. The churches should have an eye to see the pain of oppressed mankind that includes Royachen. The injustice is rooted down to all churches, from Catholics to Pentecostals, and its time to extradite it from Mar Thoma church. Awake Up to learn the history of Churches and Mankind. Red Salute to Royachen.

He had a genuine reason and its sad that Marthoma church management did not consider it... OR is it that he did not meet any target for any fund raising... Atleast the leaders of the church should have the balls to explain to the people WHY his reason for transfer was denied.

Where is this petition going to ? Anyone think a 1000 signature or even 10,000 signature will do anything for Roy Achen? Clearly who ever started this petition dose not know the Mar Thoma Politics and Ego. With the current Progress of Mar Thomas Church its no surprise that all the youth are leaving for other churches . Knowing Roy Achen i am pretty sure he is currently very happy in Texas.

It is sad to see that we preach Christ in church yet it's not shown in the actions taken. Christ was an example of love and compassion so let's practice it in how we live and love. Achen is a wonderful example especially for the youths. It's a shame that this is how the church decided to treat a priest.

Roy Achen's legacy in the Mar Thoma church shouldn't end with a dismissal, considering what he has added to the church. He had a fire in his heart for God, who used it to ignite a new generation that will sustain the Mar Thoma church for generations to come. Perhaps now would be the perfect opportunity for the traditional ways to lend themselves to the gifts of mercy and grace. From Christ's perspective, is this a forgiveable transgression? The church's answer to that question is what all eyes are looking for.

The severe and swift action of removing this vicar was utterly disgusting and a show of bad faith. The years of service this Achen and his family placed in the church only to be kicked out into the streets. This political atmosphere in the 'indian church' is exactly why some of us left. Let us be an example of truth and grace.

Roy Achen has impacted the lives of many youth and adults. I can definitely say, that because of the person he is, my life had improved to the better. His support, love and prayers have really helped me through some hard times. Yet, with all that has happened to this God fearing, wonderful man, he still hold his head up high, has forgiven people and most importantly, continues to praise God. Some of you should be ashamed claiming to be good Christians and disrespecting an Achen. What kind of manners and morals did your parents teach you? Maybe you should be the ones removed from the church? I'm beyond grateful, Roy Achen is in my life. Thank you, for being the person you are and for being a huge impact in my life!
