  • Rev. Rhenius’ uncompromising attitude towards the Christian life style and Worship earned him hostilities from many quarters and as a result the same organization which handpicked him to work in India, terminated his service. Later to earn the pension from CMS, the widow of Rev Rhenius and his son, who was employed with CMS too, had to go along with the CMS, and as a result the chances recording the justification for Rev. Rhenius’ standoff became very remote. The Anglican bishops and British historians who wrote books on Indian Christianity did not give the due recognition to the missionary work of Rev. Rhenius. I have posted an article This article is purported to bring to the limelight the work of Rev. Rhenius in Megnanapuram circle, more precisely at Solaikudiyiruppu with the first conversion of Velu Muthu Mukandar as Vedha Muthu Mukandar. Please have a look at the following URLs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rev._C_T_E_Rhenius http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vedha_Muthu_(a.k.a._Velu_Muthu)_Mukandar - Rev. & Dr Ravikumar Stephen J
