Church of The Holy Redeemer (CNI), Dadar (E), Mumbai

Church of The Holy Redeemer (CNI), Dadar (E), Mumbai established in 1925 to cater to Marathi speaking Anglican congregation.

The Pulpit – it reads जय प्रभु येशु की’ meaning ‘Glory to Lord Jesus’
A Plaque dedicated to the Priests who have served here – Past and Present (Note: the different titles used by the Presbyters over the years 'Reverend', 'Reverend Canon' and 'Reverend Father' – not very common currently in the CNI Churches)

The Altar draped in Lenten color (Note: the traditional setting of the altar, the Priest does not faces the congregation while saying the Eucharistic prayers)

While in many of the Bombay CNI Diocesan Churches the Priests face the congregation while celebrating the Lord’s Supper, but some churches still stick to the old tradition of placing the altar as shown in the picture above.
