Mizoram Presbyterian ChurchSynod (Mizoram Presbyterian Kohhran Synod in Mizo) is the largest Christian denomination in Mizoram, northeast India.[2] It was a direct progeny of the Calvinistic Methodist Church (officially named the Presbyterian Church of Wales in 1928) in Wales. It was the first church in Mizoram and is now one of the constituent bodies of a larger denomination Presbyterian Church of India (PCI), which has its headquarters in Shillong, Meghalaya. The administrative body called the Mizoram Synod has its headquarters at Mission Veng, Aizawl. As the first church, it remains the largest denomination in Mizoram.[3]
In June 2012, the Mizoram Presbyterian Church revoked its official partnership with the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) with which it was allied since 1999. In its 239th Executive Committee meeting, Mizoram Synod decided that ordination of gay clergy and the practice of gay marriage recently endorsed by the North American church were against biblical teachings.[4][5]
