HISTORY OF CHRISTIANITY IN INDIA : M. M. NINAN Brethren Assembly Maramon Convention was the breeding ground for most of the evangelical movements in South India. Many of the speakers from Europe and America were the sponsors of these independent charismatic movements. This movement is an outgrowth of Pietism - or Holiness Movement of the early 17th Centuary. It originated in Germany in 1708 and were known at that time as Dunkers. They were called Dunkers by outsiders because they fully immersed or “dunked” their baptismal candidates in nearby streams, three complete dunkings; a particular method of baptism that completely distinguished them from the “sprinkling” of the Lutherans and Methodists, and the “pouring” Mennonites, and even the single dunk Baptists. Other names by which they are sometimes identified are Dunkers, Dunkards, Tunkers, and Täufer, all relating to their practice of baptism by immersion. It was led by Alexander Mack (1679-1735) and created such giant revivalists like Darbi, Ironside and Spurgeon. Darbi, Ironside and Spurgeon The “Plymouth Brethren” were named after the English seaside town of Plymouth, where a sizable number of Christians gathered during the early years of the movement.Early in 1825 in Dublin, Ireland, Dr. Edward Cronin and Edward Wilson began meeting together each Lord’s Day morning for the breaking of bread, worship, and study of the Word. In 1830, J. N. Darby left the Anglican priesthood and devoted himself full-time to forming and feeding similar small gatherings both in Ireland and England Anthony Norris Groves, a Plymouth Brethren missionary came to India in 1833. He recruited a number of missionaries to assist existing efforts in several parts of India, and to pioneer new ventures, notably in the Godavari Delta and Tamilnadu. Groves advocated the adoption of the New Testament as a manual of missionary methods. One of Groves's <strong>Indian</strong> disciples was John Arulappan. Mathai, a CMS Evangelist from Thirunalveli was a disciple of Arulappan, came to Kerala with the message of Brothren persuation. This paved way for the commencement of Brethren movement in Kerala. 198
HISTORY OF CHRISTIANITY IN INDIA : M. M. NINAN Plymouth Brethren Anthony Norris Groves (1795 – 1853) 1875 Yusthos Joseph alias Vidwankutty, a Tamil Brahmin and CMS priest, along with his fellow brethren started preaching gospel in Kerala. But one of his fellow brethren had a 'revelation' that on completing 6 years from the year 1875 Jesus would come. This had become their subject of preaching from then. Being terribly mistaken in this matter, the movement of Vidwankutty had weakened. But his hymns and sermons helped to reach gospel among the Christians in Kerala. 1894 In December 1894, a well-known gospel preacher, Tamil David visited Kerala. An eleven year old boy named K. V. Simon accepted the Lord during one of his meetings held at Puthencavu. He became a well known poet in Malayalam and influenced the growth of the Brotheren Assemblies in Kerala. 199
