Since 1978 it has grown, and now includes the Caribbean, Central, South and North America, Australia, New Zealand, and Africa as well as the establishment of a diocese here in the United Kingdom. In 1984 the historic Church of India (Anglican) was received and constituted as the Second Province of the ACC. The Church is served by its International newspaper The Trinitarian. www.csichurch.com The Church of south india is the result of the union of churches of varying traditions Anglican, Methodist, Congregational, Presbyterian, and Reformed in that area. It was inaugurated in September 1947, after protracted negotiation among the churches concerned. Organized into 16 dioceses, each under the spiritual supervision of a bishop, the church as a whole is governed by a synod, which elects a moderator (presiding bishop) every 2 years. Episcopacy is thus combined with synodical government, and the church explicitly recognizes that Episcopal, Presbyterian, and congregational elements are all necessary for the church's life. The Scriptures are the ultimate standard of faith and practice. The historic creeds are accepted as interpreting the biblical faith, and the sacraments of baptism and the Lord's Supper are recognized as of binding obligation. www.csitirunelveli.org Contains useful information on the History and Ministry Tirunelveli Diocese and its Pastorates and the congregations www.indianchristianity.com An encyclopedia of indian christianity with information and research assistance for topics dealing with India in particular and South Asia in general noblemissions.com A Canadian Christian ministry specialising in Church building and constructions worldwide, using skilled volunteers.
