The Mar Thoma Church
forms part of the ancient Syrian Church of Malabar.
As has been noted, the ancient Syrian Church came into
being as a result of the strenuous missionary endeavors
of the St. Thomas the Apostle. Mar Thoma Church once
confined only to central Travancore, Kerala, India,
now spans across many countries. As the people of Kerala
went outside seeking jobs and livelihood, our Church
also began to widen its branches and thus we established
parishes and mission fields in North India, extending
to Nepal and then to Malaysia, Singapore and the Persian
Gulf. And now we have parishes in Europe, America, Australia
and in many other parts of the world. The Mar Thoma
Church has become a Global Church.
