I'm having trouble finding any indication this denomination has been covered by any kind of independent sources. - Biruitorul ^Talk 21:29, 25 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Indeed, the title seems common, but the content is just not properly managed. Bladesmulti (talk) 18:30, 26 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to St. Thomas Christians. That article discusses the relevant history of Christianity in India. It discusses Oriental Orthodoxy, not Eastern Orthodoxy, which this Church claims to be a part of, but to my knowledge, Orthodoxy does not allow for "lay leaders" to run their sui iuris Churches (the equivalent phrase in Catholicism. I am unsure of the Orthodox equivalent). They claim to be a part of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia. If this is true, then include it in that Church's article. I am not particularly sure that the Church of India website counts as a verifiable source for this regard. If it is listed in the mother Church's documents, that would merit inclusion on that page, not this page. TonyBallioni (talk) 06:27, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
