Methodist Church in India is a Protestant Christian denomination of India.
The Methodist Church in India's roots originate in American Methodist missionary activity in India, as opposed to the British and Australian conferences of the Methodist Churches, which joined the Church of South India and the Church of North India that emerged as a result of the ecumenical merger of the Methodist Church of Great Britain, Church of India, Burma and Ceylon (Anglican) and other Protestant denominations.[1]
Methodism came to India in 1856.[2][3] It has hundreds of thousands of members.[4] It is a member of the World Council of Churches, Christian Conference of Asia, the National Council of Churches in India and World Methodist Council.[4] It runs schools.[4][5]
The Methodist Church in India (MCI), is an "autonomous affiliated" Church in relation to the United Methodist Church.[6][7]
