PREFACE
This book is the result of a number of requests from the parents of the Diaspora community of Indian Christians who are integrated into a new environment seeking for their roots. There are practically hundreds of the history of Christian Churches of India which are directed to a particular section or denominations of the community. This book is simply an attempt to integrate the stories into a whole with a wider vision of the various congregations, groups, denominations and Churches all as part of the greater body of Christ - again as part of the Universal Church which along with the whole creation form the Body of Christ.
The history themselves are interpenetrating puzzles coming together as one whole magnificent picture. God has retained a remnant in every part of India to stand as His witness.
"But ye are a chosen generation,
a royal priesthood,
an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him
who hath called you out of darkness
into his marvellous light"
1 Peter 2:9 I know that Great Person of the brightness of the sun beyond the
darkness. Only by knowing him one goes beyond death.
There is no other way to go.
