              HONORING HIS EMINENCE METROPOLITAN MAR ENOCH

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. GEORGE RADANOVICH

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, February 4, 2002

  Mr. RADANOVICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor His Eminence Mar 
Enoch on the occasion of the 5th anniversary of his Episcopacy. Mar 
Enoch serves the Fresno area and the entire Central Valley in his 
position as Metropolitan Mar Enoch of the Mar Thoma Orthodox Church.
  The Mar Thoma Orthodox Church is associated with the Diocese of 
Thoziyur, India, and the Indian Orthodox Church. Mar Enoch has devoted 
his life to his faith and the pastoral service of those in the Orthodox 
Church. However, Mar Enoch's service extends beyond members of his own 
faith, to his community and the entire nation.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate His Eminence Mar Enoch on 
this anniversary of his Episcopal elevation. I invite my colleagues to 
join me in thanking Mar Enoch for his community service and wishing him 
many more years of continued success.
