History
The India
Christian Mission Church, established in 1897 by an Anglican Priest of
Beicester of England, i.e., The Revd.Arthur Stephen Paynter.Now it is
centered at Krishna and West Godavary Revenue Districts of Andhra
Pradesh State.
The ICM Church in India functioned under the
International headquarters of the Church stationed in Nuwara Eliya,
SRI LANKA right from its inception in 1897 having a local Trust Board
in India as appointed by the Directors in Sri Lanka. The Directors
felt that it is quite impossible to rule the Church in India from
disturbed Sri Lanka and asked the Trust Board in India to formulate a
new constitution to be flexible for the local needs. The Trust Board
has formed a constitution committee in 1996, drafted a new
constitution and submitted the same for approval by the Directors in
Sri Lanka. The Directors have UNANIMOUSLY RESOLVED and approved the
new constitution on 3 rd May 1999 and sent it back to the
Revd.N.V.Amrutha Rao, the continuing CHIEF PASTOR and Chairman of the
Trust Board for implementation. The joint Council of the Trust Board
and the Pastors council has resolved and registered the new
constitution with the District Registrar of Societies at ELURU on 22
nd March 2000 AD and became an Independent Autonomous Church in India
under the leadership of Rt.Rev.N.V.Amrutha Rao.
