During British_period , CMS missionaries started a relationship with Saint Thomas Christians. A division occurred between Jacobite Syrian Christians and a minority from the Church, who were in favor of the reformed ideologies of the CMS missionaries. According to some estimate about 6000/12000 Jacobite Syrian Christians joined Anglican Church in 1837 AD.They were known as Syrian Anglicans.The Anglican diocese of Travancore with headquarters at Kottayam was erected in 1879. On 27 September 1947 they merged in to Church of South India .The presiding bishop of the inaugural function was Rt Revd C. K. Jacob of the Anglican Diocese of Travancore and Cochin. Due to the presence of Syrian Anglicans in Church of South India (CSI) , churches of Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church (in Oriental Orthodox Communion, autocephalous), Jacobite Syriac Orthodox Church (in Oriental Orthodox Communion, under Antioch) and Malankara Mar Thoma Syrian Church do interact frequently on occasions such as Family gathering and Marriages .This Diocese is renamed as Diocese of Madhya Kerala.
