Church

സഭ (assembly/congregation) is the established term for the doctrinal Church, distinct from പള്ളി (the physical church building) and never അമ്പലം (Hindu temple). Kerala’s multiple established denominations (Syro-Malabar, Malankara Orthodox, Latin Catholic, Marthoma, and various Protestant/Evangelical bodies) all share this term for the universal Church even where they differ on ecclesiology.
