Assembly of Believers' Church In India

The Assembly of Believers' Church In India (also known as ABC in India) is a neocharismatic[1] Episcopal denomination in India, rooted in the Saint Thomas Christian tradition and history of Christianity in India. It was established in 1973 by Rev. Bishop Augustus Anthony and now contains more than 450 churches with around 40000 members.[2] [3]
