The Anglican Church of India was one among the Churches that joined in the Church of South India in 1947 along with Baptists, Lutherans and Presbyterians. But a section of those belonged to the Anglican Church of India did not accept the practice of worship followed by the CSI as they believed that it was against the Anglican tradition. There was a provision in the CSI Union agreement that any group can, if found necessary, withdraw from the union within 30 years of its formation. According to this provision, those Anglicans who did not agree with some of the practices of the CSI Church decided to separate from the CSI and restore the Anglican Church, in the year 1964.
