A delegation of members of Holy Transfiguration Orthodox Church, Madison, Wisconsin attended a dedication ceremony at Alma College, Michigan, on Saturday, May 16, 2009, during which a figurative sculpture representing the spiritual ideals of the late Bishop Thomas Mar Makarios was unveiled. The clay sculpture cast in bronze is located at the center of the Alma College campus along a sidewalk amidst a grove of evergreen trees. Alma College is a selective liberal arts college where Bishop Makarios tuaght religion for 25 years. In Midwest America, only one other Indian leader has a dedicated public statue: Mahatma Gandhi in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Email letter from Saturday, May 02, 2009
I would like to deeply and profusely acknowledge and appreciate the goodwill shown by the Alma College in recognizing the contributions made by His Grace Thomas Mar Makarios, a prelate of Indian Orthodox Church, by offering to dedicate a Sculpture that reflects His Grace's wisdom, dedication, commitment and vision. It is indeed a fitting tribute to this multifaceted towering personality with lofty and encouragingly persuading ideals and values.
May this exemplary deed of goodwill and recognition be heavenly accepted and throw light and direction in to the life of many aspiring upcoming young generation that treads through Alma College campus.
Dr.Vinu Thomas,
