When the Church Mission Society terminated the services of Rev Rhenius in 1835, Vedha Muthu and his supporters stopped attending its Church at Solaikudiyiruppu, and the now Holy Trinity Cathedral of the Diocese of Tirunelveli[REF] at Palayamkottai.
Vedha Muthu's Prayer Hall was taken under the Tinnevelly Diocese by D. Navamani Gnanayutham, one of Vedha Muthu's great-grandsons, following a call for unification by Bishop V S Azariah, the First Indian Anglican Bishop [REF].
