CHURCH OF SOUTH INDIA (C.S.I.)
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. The Church of South India
has 3.8 million members
and 14000 congregations in 21 dioceses (including, for
historical reasons, one
diocese in northern Sri Lanka). The CSI runs 2000
colleges, 130 schools and 104
hospitals. The purpose of CSI churches in North America
is to practice traditional
worship in our native style and to educate our younger
generation to grow in the
CSI culture. Moreover, it's a fellowship of the native
people living apart with the
same tradition, to strengthen their friendship and faith
in Jesus Christ. More
