	Members of the Mar Thoma Church, now living in North America, are recent immigrants from Kerala, one of the 28 states in India. Soon after their arrival about quarter of a century ago, they organized themselves as a church and found their identity in it. This association enabled them not only to continue worship in their familiar language along with the faith and practices but also to cope with the “new” customs and habits of new land.
