FIACONA is a Washington, D.C.-based voluntary, charitable organization that advocates on behalf of the one million-strong Indian American Christians from all 50 states and Canada. It is a coalition of Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox, Evangelical, Pentecostal, and independent church and civic organizations, primarily comprising Indian Americans. FIACONA serves as a bridge builder for ecumenical advocacy, focusing on reducing violence against Christians in India. Our mission is to preserve the socio-political space of the Christian church from encroachment by nationalist radical groups acting in the name of Hinduism, as well as their representatives in the Indian government.
Our Mission
Protecting
Protecting the interest of the Christian church in the Union of India is the primary mission of FIACONA.
Ensuring the Social
Ensuring the social, cultural and political space of the church besides the protection of fundamental rights to safety, security and equal status of every single person following the Christian faith in the Union of India remains a priority for FIACONA.
Lives and Properties
The threat to lives and properties of Christian communities in India, in spite of having all imaginable protections enshrined in the Constitution of India, remains a serious concern for the Federation.
Church in India
The following article is extracted from an upcoming book written by John Prabhudoss, titled The Upper West House.
Christianity practiced in erstwhile kingdoms of the Indian sub-continent is as old as the Faith itself.
Thomas initially visited Northwestern parts of the sub-continent in the years between 46 AD and 49 AD.
Besides Thomas, another Apostle of Christ, Bartholomew also visited Northwestern kingdoms of the sub-continent establishing churches as far down South as the Port city of present-day Mumbai.
