Filled with the colors and sounds of India, the festivities in Warren reflected how much the faith is rooted in the country's traditions.
Over the centuries, Catholics and Protestants from Europe tried to stamp out the church, unwilling to tolerate its syncretic culture. But the church managed to survive and flourish; today, it has about 3 million members worldwide, roughly 650 of them in metro Detroit

Hope they have some services similar to the churches in India. The messages from the pastors in India are rich in accomodating faith through a diversified culture we have back home. I used to love going to some of them in bangalore.
