История
[ редактировать ]The year 1810 witnessed the arrival of the first ever Protestant missionary, the Rev. John Hands of London Missionary Society at Bellary, Karnataka State (erstwhile Mysore). During the later part of the 19th century also witnessed the arrival of other missionary societies such as the Wesleyan Methodist Missionary Society (1821) Basel Mission (1834), the society of propagation of the Gospel and the Church Missionary Society. Except for the Basel Mission, the other Missions became part of the South Indian United Church (SIUC) which came into existence in 1908. The South Indian United Church (SIUC) was formed and sustained by the efforts of the Rev. Vedam Santiago of Madurai[citation needed]. When he envisioned the formation of the Church of South India a number of hurdles had to be crossed including those of caste. The Anglican Bishop Azariah was approached by Rev. V Santiago[citation needed] and persuaded to be a leading force in the bringing together of the varied churches in South India. Thus it was that Rev. V Santiago[citation needed] Наряду с другими лидерами SIUC привели к церкви Южной Индии под более поздним руководством епископа Азарии. Когда церковь Южной Индии была официально открыта в 1947 году, Майсурская епархия была одной из четырнадцати епархий. Согласившись с предложением, сделанным Синодом в 1964 году, о создании небольших епархии для обеспечения лучшего введения, епархия в 1969 году утвердила схему деления епархии на три единицы. В результате этого подразделения центральная епархия Карнатака появилась 1 мая 1970 года о трифуркации тогдашней епархии Мисура.
Under the leadership of Bishop Norman C Sargant, the Mysore Diocese was trifurcated and the Mysore Central Diocese came into being in the year 1970. When Mysore was renamed as Karnataka then the Diocese also changed its name from Mysore Central Diocese to Karnataka Central Diocese.
