  • Church of South India Karimnagar Diocese a Story of Transformation
    Karimnagar Diocese 133 years and Beyond: Church of South India Karimnagar Diocese A Story of Transformation (1879-2012) The Wesleyan Methodist Missionaries from England began working since 1879 in the Districts of Hyderabad, Medak, Nizamabad, Karimnagar and Nalgonda. As a result of their mission work Churches were established along with Schools and Hospitals. After the formation of Church of South India in year 1947, Karimnagar and Nalgonda areas from Medak were annexed to the Dornakal Diocese. There was a small village, by name ‘Gulshanabad’, about 85 kilometres from Hyderabad in the erstwhile ‘Nizam’s Dominion’ in the Telangana region of todaýs Andhra Pradesh. According to one tradition, it was a village where flowers were grown on the banks of the rivulet Pasuperu for the rulers of that time. It was perhaps a typical Muslim village with a few people from other communities. The old mosque on top of the hill, and the existence of no other major temple in the village, is an indication to this tradition. The name ‘Gulshanabad’ means ‘a place of flowers’. With the coming of the Methodist missionaries, notably Charles Walker Posnett in 1896, the Story of Gulshanabad to Medak began. William Burgess, a British Methodist missionary from Madras, with Benjamin Wesley, an Indian evangelist, came to Hyderabad in 1879. A year later came Benjamin Pratt. This trio laid the foundations for the Church in Secunderabad and Hyderabad, although British chaplaincies for their military existed long before. The pictures of William Burgess and Benjamin Pratt are on display in the CSI Wesley Church, Clock Tower, and Secunderabad.

  • Vassula Ryden
    NOVEMBER 25/DECEMBER 8/12, 2012 Vassula Ryden: Problems with Rome, Bishops worldwide and her own Orthodox Church, but welcome in India Vassula Ryden is a controversial Greek-Orthodox "seer" who claims to receive written messages from God. The intention of this alert is to provide reliable information to the Bishops, heads of retreat centers, lay leaders in ministry, and the Catholic laity at large in the Indian Church about the status of acceptance by the Catholic and Orthodox Churches of the Greek Orthodox "seer" named Vassula Ryden and her "messages". This alert will gradually be developed into a more-detailed report* which can be viewed under the same title at the "REPORTS" section of this ministry’s web site. Interested readers are requested to check our web site periodically for updates and new articles. *This report was updated on December 8, 2012. See pages 27 ff. Also see VASSULA RYDEN-TESTIMONIES at http://ephesians-511.net/docs/VASSULA_RYDEN_TESTIMONIES.doc. That file in the "CATHOLIC ISSUES" section of our web site contains four testimonies reproduced from www.infovassula.ch, a critical website on Vassula Ryden and her "True Life in God" messages. The www.infovassula.ch website which was run by a Switzerland-based Catholic apologist Maria Laura Pio had to be shut down because of legal proceedings initiated against her in a civil court in Belgium in 2011 by the "True Life in God" [TLIG]"seer" Vassula Ryden and her team of legal experts. More of that later. The writing and publishing of this alert is immediately necessitated by the receipt of information concerning the imminent visit of Vassula Ryden to various Catholic locations in India* on the back of a trip by her to Paris and Strasbourg in France which however has elicited strong warnings from six French bishops**.

He then went to India under Church Missionary Society, being based mainly at Bezwada in Dornakal Diocese [Crockford]. The fact that he reused the backs of some minor correspondence addressed to persons in a district centre at Bezwada and Madras suggests some involvement in administration at the former, but the Dornakal Diocesan Magazines show that he occupied the office of ‘chaplain’ (an office with a history going back in India to the era of East India Company rule) in Ellore and Masulipatam. This was a Telugu-speaking district, part of the Madras Presidency/Central Provinces within the British Raj, now Andhra Pradesh and Telangana states. The existence of well-used Telugu Bible and service sheets suggest he mastered the language and also that he had a particular interest in service forms, being responsible for reprinting in India a a form for a Litany of Remembrance for retreats (IND 3/2).

  • The Church of South India – Very Thoroughly Fr
    The Church of South India – Very Thoroughly Fr. Colin Oxenforth Paper presented at the Annual General Meeting of the Barbara Pym Society St. Hilda’s College, Oxford, 29-31 August 2014 The problem of South India is a real but rather mysterious entity floating around the novel A Glass of Blessings – from page 4 to page 257 in the Virago Classic printing. It hangs over some of the characters like a sword of Damocles, but despite Fr Thames saying right at the beginning ‘We are hoping to go very thoroughly into the South India business this autumn…’ nothing much seems to happen. As this is said on October 18th – St. Luke’s day, after a lunchtime service – one would expect the course to start fairly quickly. Our heroine, Wilmet, in her misguided wanting to see more of Piers Longridge, thinks such a course would be good for him, but she is deflated by her mother-in-law with the more realistic suggestion that they might both go to his Portuguese class, and that Wilmet herself might gain from the church course on her own – a good winter intellectual study. And this from a non-believer! Clearly the issue is of no importance to some people, but mysteriously vital for others, though we don’t know who they are at this time, or why it might be so important. What was happening in 1948 to make this topic a reality for the characters involved ? Why was this a hot issue for the more catholic Anglicans of the day? It seems to have struck at the very identity of the national church, its powers and responsibilities.

First part deals with the history of women empowerment during the British rule and the post Independence period, and the second part deals with the parallel progression of women empowerment and leadership among Christian Churches in India. KEY WORDS: Empowerment, Ordination, Equality, Social Reforms, Gender, Leadership Received 18 July, 2021; Revised: 01 August, 2021; Accepted 03 August, 2021 © The author(s) 2021. Published with open access at www.questjournals.org I. INTRODUCTION Women‟s empowerment as a phenomenon is not something new. It has been there throughout the history in all societies. Now it has been developed and reshaped from women‟s welfare to their development to involve in decision makings. Empowerment of women includes equipping women to be economically independent, self-reliant, have a positive esteem to enable them to face any difficult situation and equip them to participate and taking leadership in all the developmental activities in the society. The empowered women should be able to participate in the process of important decision makings in the society and nation. Education would play the most crucial role in empowering women.

  • Some Theological Issues in the Church of South India
    Some Theological Issues in the Church of South India BY THE REv. F. j. TAYLOR, M.A. T is rapidly becoming a commonplace of theological observation I in the contemporary debate that mission and unity are inseparable aspects of the life of the church. The most cursory survey of church history since the end of the eighteenth century emphasizes the mission­ ary outreach of the older churches of western Europe and America, as the most significant fact of the period. This expansion of Christianity in the nineteenth century, so greatly assisted by the cultural and material dominance of the west, has given rise to consequences of pro­ found importance as well for ecclesiastical order as for theology. The distinction between church and mission now stands revealed as false and misleading ; the phrase " foreign missions " has disappeared from the vocabulary of educated modern Christians. " It is no accident that the modern movement for Christian reunion is a by­ product of the modern missionary movement and that its chief impetus has come from the areas where the church has been formed by mission­ ary expansion outside the frontiers of the old Christendom." 1 Bishop Newbigin points out that in a missionary situation as in South India, the stark contrast between Christ and no-Christ is so vividly present to the Christian consciousness, that the things which divide Christians from one another cannot but be seen in a different perspective. The de-christianization of Europe which has proceeded apace in the last four or five decades, has thrust this issue before the older churches of the west.

Our time of great transition is refected in literature, and just as much in missionary literature. In fact, we can hardly understand a great deal of missionary writing today without studying the world situation which forms its background. Te Christian world mission stands in the living context of old order yielding place to new; it has a serious responsibility to conserve the best of the old and to point the way to the new order which is in harmony with God’s purpose in human history.
