The Andhra Pradesh Bishops’ Council (APBC), which is an apex body of the Catholic Church in both the States of Telangana and Seemandhra being launched on June 02, 2014, assured the support of the Catholic Church and Christian Community for just, inclusive, equitable and sustainable development of the new States. It promised to continue to pray for God’s blessing for Telugu people of both States to realize a “Bangaru Telangana” and “Swarna Andhra Pradesh” with prosperity, peace and harmony.
With a view to extent their support and assure their prayerful blessing for the new states of Telangana and successor state of Andhra Pradesh, the APBC delegation consisting of Bishops and Priests met the would be Chief Ministers of both the States. Through a similar Memorandum submitted by APBC, both the would be Chief Ministers were reminded that the Church, though a minority, contributes over 25% of charitable services to the society in the fields of education, health care and social welfare, particularly to the poorer and weaker sections. To better these services, both the Chief Minister-elects were requested by APBC to take action on the urgent issues of the Church-run Educational Institutions and the concerns of the Christian Minority Community.
