It is with a sense of sorrow and joy in Christ, The National Christian Council of Sri Lanka (NCCSL) receives the news of the ‘Calling to Glory’ of Rev. Fr. Ernest Poruthota.
Rev. Fr. Raymond Ernest Alexandra Poruthota, as a magnanimous disciple of Christ engaged in spreading the love of God in an encouraging and guiding spirit leading all those he acquainted with towards greater achievements in the mission of the God.
As an affable and inspiring servant of Christ, Fr. Poruthota was one who made immense contributions displaying divine gifts bestowed upon him in the field of communication and cinema.
The ‘calling to rest’ of Fr. Poruthota is a great loss to the Church, and it is our hope that his inspired leadership, guiding principles and vision will continue to prevail and hold firm in the Church and the Country as a whole.
May he rest in peace and rise in glory. Signed by: Rev. Heshan De Silva – Chairperson National Christian Council of Sri Lanka and President Sri Lanka Baptist Sangamaya, Rt. Rev. D.R.
