| Итог: | In the 1810s, the Church Missionary Society (CMS) established the College at Cottayam
in south India to educate boys intended for the priesthood in the local, indigenous
church. While their goal was to help the church, their activities increased British power
in the community. The results of CMS involvement included increasing interference of
British officials in matters internal to the Malankara Church (e.g., episcopal succession),
tacit recognition of the authority of colonial courts to resolve disputes in the church, and
the fragmentation of the St. Thomas Christian community. These effects reshaped the
church into something more consistent with British Christianity and more subject to
British rule. |
