Abstract
This book contains a series of articles and lectures written between 1969 and 1974. It focuses on the Nazrani Church, also known as the St. Thomas or Malankara Church in Kerala and its spiritual and ecclesial calling as an Eastern Catholic community in communion with Rome. It contributes a scholarly vision on how an Eastern Catholic community navigates its unique identity, a vital reference for students of Indian Church history and Vatican II ecclesiology. Helps readers understand how the Nazrani faithful see themselves: rooted in apostolic East, asserting an indigenous ecclesial tradition, yet part of the global Catholic communion.
