Establishment of the church[edit]


It was established in 1970 with a union of Anglicans, Scottish Presbyterians (Church of Scotland), United Methodists, and Lutherans. It is the only united church in South Asia which involves Lutherans. Though united, it is mainly Anglican in theology and outlook, since Anglicans form the bulk of the 800,000 strong membership and most of the important episcopal sees.


The church has two theological seminaries: the Gujranwala Theological Seminary and St. Thomas' Theological College, Karachi.
