Episode Description
In 52 AD, the Apostle Thomas arrived on the Malabar Coast of India and planted a faith that would survive fifteen centuries of isolation, the collapse of the Church of the East, and the arrival of Portuguese sailors who expected to find pagans. The Saint Thomas Christians --- the Nasrani --- held their liturgy, their language, and their conviction without an army, without a pope, and without anyone in the wider Christian world even knowing they existed. This is the story of what a living faith actually looks like, and why the church Thomas founded at Palayoor is still open, still gathering, and still praying today.
