99 years ago to the day, Rev Charles Walker Posnett rode an elephant with his brother at the head of a long procession to reach the Medak Cathedral. On December 25, 1924, surrounded by about 3000 villagers and fellow parishioners under one of the grandest cathedral he helped execute, Posnett heard the Christmas sermon by Rev Daniel Napoleon.
Now, the parishioners and Church of South India officials are drawing up plans to celebrate 100 years of the church. The legacy of the church is now carried forward by the Presbyter Incharge Rev. T. Shanthiah.
