== Church in India ==
The Syriac Orthodox Divine Liturgy Church in India is done partly in Syriac a pitty stage due to conflict between the ''Patriarch of Antioch'' and partly the ''Catholicos of East''. As both of them were not ready for a compromise, there arose many civil disputes. At present, there are 3 Orthodox Communities in India.They are: * [[Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church]] This Church recognises Patriarch of Antioch only as the highest ranking Spiritual Leader. The Catholicos of East as its Supreme Head. * [[Jacobite Syrian Orthodox Church]] This Church recognises Patriarch of Antioch as its Supreme Head. The regional head of this Church is a titular Cathilicos ordained by the Patriarch. * [[Malabar Independent Syrian Church]] This church is the result of a split in Malayalam1772 AD. This church the same tradition and christonology of the other two Orthodox sets. The head of this church is an Independent Archbishop.
