Summary/Abstract: The Liturgy of the Church, being the first locus theologicus, is by its nature a space for the formation of the faithful. Both the liturgical texts and all other components of the celebrations should not be only an expression of worship, but also, they have to shape the faithful in both theological and moral dimensions. This article presents the formative role of the liturgy in the Syro-Malankara Church tradition. In the follow- ing parts of the study, the reader will become acquainted with the historical outline of the syro-malankara tradition, the general assumptions of liturgical formation as well as some examples of the formative role of the discussed liturgy.
