Evangelical Lutheran Zion Church
The Evangelical Lutheran Zion Church is a Protestant Lutheran church situated at Jalan Sultan Abdul Samad, Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur. It was built to serve mainly Tamil labourers from South India many of whom were Lutherans.
Background
The Lutheran mission can trace its origins back to a meeting held in 1906 at the Anglo-Tamil School, Kuala Lumpur, attended by Rev. K. Pamperrien, President of the Leipzig Evangelical Lutheran Mission in India, and his colleague, Rev. T. Joseph, who were on a visit to enquire into the condition of the Lutheran followers in the Malay Peninsula. They found that the Lutherans, who were mostly Indian Tamils who had come to work on the plantations, had no proper place to worship or pastor to administer to them, and so to remedy the situation it was decided to establish a Lutheran evangelical mission to serve the community and to appoint Rev. T. Joseph as the first resident pastor.
Rev. T. Joseph was installed in Kuala Lumpur as head of the mission on 11 November 1906 and set about establishing a congregation and raising funds to supplement the financial support provided by the Tamil Evangelical Lutheran Church in India. In the absence of a church for worship, a shop-house in Scott Road was used to conduct services.
From its establishment, the mission had expressed the desire to build a church for Lutherans but it was not until 16 years later that their wish was fulfilled. Completed in 1924 under the supervision of Rev. S. Muthuswamy, who succeeded Rev. T. Joseph in 1921, it was formerly opened at a ceremony on 30 November 1924 when the church was blessed by Rev. J. Sandegren, Bishop of Trarquebar, India, and named the "Evangelical Lutheran Zion Church".
