A Traditional Anglican Community
Who are we?
In 1964, the Diocese of Travancore & Cochin separated itself from the Church of South India to protect the traditional Anglican faith. And in 1991, it lead other similar Anglican dioceses in India to form the Anglican Church of India.
Currently ACI has 20 Dioceses, spread over 16 Indian states and in the USA.
Our Four Towering Pillars of Faith
HOLY Bible
The Holy Bible is the ultimate source of faith and order of the Church.
CREEDS
We uphold the Apostles’, Nicene and Athanasian Creed.
SACRAMENTS
We practice only two sacraments – the Holy Eucharist & the Holy Baptism – which are instituted by Christ himself. We believe that Christ is the giver of Baptism by Holy Spirit.
EPISCOPACY
We believe in the historic Episcopacy which was initiated by Christ himself.
