HISTORY OF CHRISTIANITY IN INDIA : M. M. NINAN KV Simon 1896 J. Gelson Gregson, the famous Keswick Convention speaker, visited Kerala and gave another boost to the Brotheren growth. C. P. Thomas of Ayroor organised his Kerala visit. Gregson took various sessions among the priests and laymen within the Marthoma Church. Many were convinced of the Calvinistic "Once saved always saved" teaching. Baptism was also taught as a necessity for salvation. Following these sessions, some of the priests and laymen had decided to receive baptism. This development attracted fury of the Church leaders against Gregson and they barred him from ministering in the Marthoma Church. In the year 1897, Rev. P. E. Mammen (Kumbanattachen), vicar of Kumbanad and Eraviperoor parishes of the Marthoma church, received baptism from a Brethren missionary, Handley Bird, at Kunnamkulam. He left the Marthoma Church and became a preacher in the Brotheren Group. The first instance of the Holy Supper according to the New Testament pattern was conducted in Kunnamkulam under the leadership of Volbrecht Nagel of German origin. 1899 J. G. Gregson, a baptist missionary visited Kerala in 1896 and conducted numerous Bible studies and meetings organized by the Mar Thoma Church. It was in 1897, when he was a speaker at the Maramon Convention. The vicar of the Marthoma Church of Kumbanad and Eraviperoor parishes, Rev. P. E. Mammen (Kumbanattachen), left the Marthoma Church and received baptism from a Brethren missionary, Hardley Bird, at Kunnamkulam. The first Brethren assembly meeting in Travancore took place at Kumbanad on 19th March 1899 Volbrecht Nagel and Harriet Sabina Mitchell Nagel (They found each other in Kunnamkulam and got married in April 1896) 200
HISTORY OF CHRISTIANITY IN INDIA : M. M. NINAN Rev. P.E. Mammen (Kumbanat Achen) On 19 March 1899, a worship meeting with Holy Supper as per the Brethren pattern was conducted at the residence of Kuttiyil Mathai in Kumbanad. P. E. John, P. C. John, Kuttyil Mathai and Kumbanadu Melathethil P. C. Chacko participated in the Lord's Table, following Songs, Prayers and Message. P. C. Cherian Parayil from Kallissery, P. C. Mammen, Cheruvallethu Koshy Mathunni, P. N. Ninan were also present in this meeting, though they were not partakers at the Lord's Table. P. C. Mammen was baptised in the afternoon same day. Due to the protest of the parish and family members of Mammen, they were not able to continue the gathering in the following week in the same house. An attempt to conduct the meeting outside the house in the garden was also foiled. Many who believed were baptised in places like Kuriyannur and Nedumprayar and joined this new movement. P.C.John Upadesi On 20 January 1929, Viojetha (seperatists) assemblies of K.V Simon joined with the movement of Mr Noel. Later the assemblies favouring P. E Mammen (Kumbanattachen) also joined them resulting in the formation of a single Movement. Mr Nagel and his team had paved the foundation of Brethren assemblies in North Travancore, Cochin and Malabar. Mr. M.T.Yohannan from Mylapra took the Gospel to Andhra Pradesh. 201
