Several clergy from Leicester
Diocese’s link diocese of Trichy–Tanjore in the southern Indian state of Tamil
Nadu, were invited to Leicester to take part in a Church Growth Conference. One
of them, the Revd. Augusty Gnana Gandhi has been saying in this parish for the
last week. He is the pastor of the Church of South India parish of Immanuel, Vellakoil.
Vellakoil is a town of 40,000 people.
We had hoped to be able to
show Augusty some of the sights of England this weekend and also to introduce
him to the congregation of St Paul’s on Sunday, so that we might know more of
the work of the Christian Church in South India and the challenges that he
faces.
