Diocese of Eastern Himalaya is a diocese of the Church of North India. Its seat is Darjeeling. Its area includes states of India as well as Bhutan. There are about 10 congregations in Bhutan. It is likely to be the oldest and largest Protestant denomination of Bhutan.
The Diocese has a twinning agreement with the Presbytery of Lothian of the Church of Scotland (which covers Midlothian and East Lothian in South-East Scotland).
Famous quotes containing the word eastern:
“In the dominant Western religious system, the love of God is essentially the same as the belief in God, in God’s existence, God’s justice, God’s love. The love of God is essentially a thought experience. In the Eastern religions and in mysticism, the love of God is an intense feeling experience of oneness, inseparably linked with the expression of this love in every act of living.”
—Erich Fromm (1900–1980)
