Diocesan Council

Every Diocese of the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church has a Diocesan Council. The Diocesan Council consists of two priests, and four laymen who are elected by the Diocesan Assembly, along with the Diocesan Secretary. The term of their office is five years. The Diocesan Secretary, who also functions as the secretary of the Diocesan Assembly, is also the secretary to the Diocesan Council. The Diocesan Metropolitan convenes the Council and presides over the council meeting. The Diocesan Council meets at least twice a year and prepares the budget for the Diocese.

Managing Committee

The Managing Committee is an administrative body made up of elected officials from each Diocese in the Malankara Church, for a term of five years. Other than the elected members, a proportionate number of members are nominated to the Managing Committee by the Malankara Metropolitan. This committee assists in overlooking the financial and administrative matters of the greater Church. The members of the Working Committee are also members of the Managing Committee.
