EDITORS COMMENTS
Tumarelli Church, located near Salur in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, stands as a testament to the rich cultural and religious history of the region. Circa 1910, this photograph captures the picturesque scene of the Danish missionary church, with its distinctive red-tiled roof and tall, whitewashed walls adorned with intricate carvings. The church was established during the colonial era by Danish missionaries, who dedicated themselves to spreading the teachings of Christianity among the local population. In the foreground of the image, Pastor Braker and Luise Tiemann, both dressed in Western attire typical of the time, ascend the stone steps leading to the entrance of the church. Their presence adds a sense of tranquility and purpose to the scene, as they prepare to carry out their duties as spiritual leaders in this community. The cross atop the church tower looms large in the background, a symbol of the faith that has brought these individuals to this remote corner of India. The Tumarelli Church stands as a reminder of the enduring influence of colonialism and the spread of Christianity in Asia during the early 20th century. Despite the passage of time, the church continues to serve as a place of worship for the local community, reflecting the deep-rooted connections between India's diverse religious traditions and the global exchange of ideas and beliefs that have shaped its history.
