CSI

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.

Being the largest Protestant church in India, the CSI celebrates its life with Indian culture and spirituality and raises its voice for the voiceless on matters of justice, peace and integrity of creation. It shares the love of Jesus Christ with the people of India through proclamation of the good news of Jesus; responding to human need through institutional and emergency relief work; through community development projects and skill training programmes for the marginalized and disadvantaged sections of the people and programmes for the integrity of creation.

Diocese

The Anglican Diocese of Travancore & Cochin, which had been in existence since 1879, came to be known as the Diocese of Central Travancore on the formation of the CSI on 27 September 1947. Subsequently, it was renamed the Diocese of Madhya Kerala.
