The Evangelical Church of India (ECI) is a Christian denomination in India. It has Allahabad Bible Seminary [1] in Allahabad, Calcutta Bible Seminary in Kolkata and Madras Theological Seminary and College in Chennai.[2] Its existence is because of the activity of the Oriental Missionary Society, (OMS International).[3] Bishop Dr.M. Ezra Sargunam was consecrated bishop in 1993.[4] The church has more than 100,000 members.[5] The denomination is relatively progressive and, in 2012, ordained its first openly transgender pastor.[6] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.abseminary.org |title=Allahabad Bible Seminary — Equip… Enlighten…Empower… |publisher=Abseminary.org |date= |accessdate=2013-05-11}} 2. ^ {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100528134808/http://www.omsinternational.org/india |date=May 28, 2010 }} 3. ^ {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100215160131/http://indianchristianity.org/evangelical1.html |date=February 15, 2010 }} 4. ^ {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100215160131/http://indianchristianity.org/evangelical1.html |date=February 15, 2010 }} 5. ^{{Cite web|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Meet-Indias-first-transgender-pastor/articleshow/11772802.cms|title=Meet India’s first transgender pastor - Times of India|website=The Times of India|access-date=2016-05-01}} 6. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.ucanews.com/news/indias-first-transgender-pastor-finds-fulfilment/68824|title=India's first transgender pastor finds fulfilment - ucanews.com|website=ucanews.com|access-date=2016-05-01}} See also
