Subject: Malabar Christians In the post on Malabar Christians, the author called the Persians or Syriac Christians as 'Christians of St. Thomas'. I may be wrong, but to the best of my knowledge, the group is called Mar-Toma Christians. That's because this group was led to India from Persia in the fourth century by a leader called Mar-Toma. The group had no direct linkage to St. Thomas, The Apostle. Any one in the know please clarify. Regards, Gilbert
