History
The Church of South India is the result of the union of churchesof varying traditions Anglican, Methodist, Congregational,Presbyterian, and Reformed. It was inaugurated in September1947, after protracted negotiation among the churchesconcerned. Organized into 22 dioceses, each under the spiritualsupervision of a bishop, the church as a whole is governed by asynod, which elects a moderator (presiding bishop) every 2years. Episcopacy is thus combined with Synodical government,and the church explicitly recognizes that Episcopal,Presbyterian, and congregational elements are all necessary forthe church's life. The Scriptures are the ultimate standard offaith and practice. The historic creeds are accepted asinterpreting the biblical faith, and the sacraments of baptismand the Lord's Supper are recognized as of binding obligation.
Discussions concerning union had begun at a conference atTranquebar (now Tarangambadi) in 1919, and in 1947, afterIndia attained independence, the union was completed. TheChurch of South India has its own Book of Common Worship ofwhich draw from several denominational sources. The union,especially in its reconciliation of the Anglican doctrine ofapostolic succession with the views of other denominations, isoften cited as a landmark in the ecumenical movement.
