Organisations

The Church of the East was the earliest form of Christianity in India, as adopted by the St Thomas Christians of the Malabar region (present-day Kerala) from at least the third century, and possibly much earlier.[a][2] This diversified into different churches over time. Later, from the 17th century, the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches, and Protestant denominations were introduced, brought by European missionaries and colonisers.

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ By long-held tradition, Malabar Christianity began in 52 AD. Although not confirmable, this early date is a canonical belief for St Thomas Christians; nothing in historical sources rules out such an ancient beginning.[1]
