Most smaller Protestant churches joined the negotiations over time; however, when the Church of North India was formally inaugurated on the 29th of November, 1970, the Methodists chose to be affiliates rather than join completely. The liturgy of the CNI is of particular interest, as it combines many traditions, including that of the Methodists and such smaller churches as the Church Of The Brethren and the Disciples Of Christ . The Church is organised into 23 Diocese s; the post of Metropolitan , originally held by the Bishop of Calcutta , rotates between the appointed bishops. Some of the oldest educational institutions in India like Bishop's College, Calcutta , St. Stephen's College, Delhi and Scottish Church College are affiliated to the CNI. A similar process took place in South India, giving rise to the Church Of South India . EXTERNAL LINK |
