South Indian Schemes provides a detailed theological and historical examination of the early movements toward church union in Southern India during the early 20th century. Written by the respected clergyman W.J. Sparrow Simpson, this work analyzes the intricate proposals and debates surrounding the unification of various Protestant denominations into a single episcopal body. The text focuses specifically on the challenges of reconciling Anglican traditions with those of Methodist, Presbyterian, and Congregationalist missions.

Simpson explores the profound implications of these schemes for ecclesiastical authority, the validity of holy orders, and the maintenance of traditional liturgy within a mission context. By providing a critical perspective on the negotiations, the author highlights the tensions between the desire for organic unity and the preservation of historical doctrine. This study serves as an essential resource for understanding the foundations of the ecumenical movement and the development of the Church of South India. It is a significant contribution to the history of Christian missions and the global evolution of church governance and identity.
