Church of South India (CSI)
CHURCH OF SOUTH INDIA
The Church of South India (CSI) is the result of the union of churches of varying traditions Anglican, Methodist, Congregational, Presbyterian and Reformed and inaugurated in September 1947.  The logo of the Church of South India is an important and significant as the formation of the CSI through the process of unification. The Lotus, a typical Indian flower, in mythology is supposed to be not only a temple flower but also the seat of the creator. ‘Pankajam’one of the Indian names given to the Lotus has a very significant meaning that ‘it is born in mud’. The Lotus blooms at sunrise and withers at sunset, in other words it lives as long as it can receive the sunrays hence it is also called ‘Thammipuvu’ meaning flower of the sun. Whether it means ‘born in the mud’ or ‘flower of the sun’ to the Indian Church, it stands to be interpreted as symbolising the composition, nature and role of the members of the Church of South India in the bond of the union and in the context of being indigenous and also being dependent on the grace of God. The petals of the Lotus and the arms of the Cross are beautifully intertwined together with the fiery tongues of the Holy Spirit. This again is an authentic Indian expression of people’s communion with God. The colours being red (for life), purple (for piety and ecclesiastical) and the white backdrop (for purity) implicitly communicate the nature of the mystical union, where, an inseparable companionship is established which, again is a typical Indian thought form.
