Our World

 
St. Thomas Cathedral, Mumbai, completed in 1718, is the first Anglican church in Mumbai (then called Bombay), to improve the "moral standards" of the growing British settlement. It is located on Veer Nariman Road, close to Horniman Circle Gardens and the Flora Fountain.
The name of nearby Churchgate station has reference to this church.

    I wonder if it worked (improving the ex-pat's moral standards)...from what I have read, maybe not so much. A beautiful building!
