Comment posted Letters of St. Thomas the Apostle to Edessa from India by Cyril Abraham.
I am a skeptical Kna. That is, I do not subscribe to the “purity” notion upheld by the Kna; nor do I support endogamy in that I do not believe this was the case with this community, especially since the early part of their purported arrival in Kudangalloor in 345 CE.
I have seen some very fact based postings from a John Matthew and the Admin. Since I’m new to this website, could you either post some relevant discussions on these topics, i.e., Jewish origin vs local conversion of this group (at least in part) and the misnomer that the practice of endogamy is, or direct me to the relevant postings that I may browse for my own education on these topics.
Thank you.
Cyril Abraham
