It was brought there by [[missionaries]] from [[Wales]] in 1897. Prior to Mizoram, Welsh Presbyterians started venturing into the northeast India through the [[Khasi Hills]] (now in the state of [[Meghalaya]] in India) and established Presbyterian churches all over the Khasi Hills from the 1840s onwards. Hence, there is a strong presence of Presbyterians in [[Shillong]] (the present capital of Meghalaya) and the areas adjoining it. The Welsh missionaries built their first church in [[Sohra]] (aka [[Cherrapunji]]) in 1846. The Presbyterian church in India was integrated in 1970 into the [[United Church of Northern India β Presbyterian Synod|United Church of Northern India]] (originally formed in 1924). It is the largest Presbyterian denomination in India. Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
