It was in June 1931 that I had the privilege of worshipping at Christ church for the first time. I was then a student of the Maharajas College of Science (present University college) and my father Mr M C Thomas sought a transfer to Trivandrum to facilitate my college studies.
My pleasant memories during this period are the confirmation classes under by Rev M J Chandy Achen and the consequent laying on of hands by Bishop Rev E A L Moore.
It was during this period that Lord Willingdon, Viceroy of India and Lady Willingdon attended a Sunday Worship at Christ church.
After Entering government service and working in many stations outside Trivandrum, I returned to Trivandrum in 1949 and the Good Lord granted me the privilege of being a member of Christ church congregation for the last 60 years. May his name be praised.
