E. Prakasam, a Lutheran, was the first[1] Indian[2] President[3][4] of the Protestant Andhra Evangelical Lutheran Church Society whose ministry was primarily based in the Guntur District and also in East Godavari District, West Godavari District, Krishna District, and Visakhapatnam District. Being one of the established Indian Pastors, Prakasam was elected as president and served from 1944 to 1950 after which he resumed his Pastoral duties as a Lutheran Pastor.

B. C. Paul and K. L. Richardson, Professors of Church History at the Protestant Andhra Christian Theological College, Secunderabad have successively researched the history of the Protestant Andhra Evangelical Lutheran Church. B. C. Paul first researched at the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago covering the period from 1905 to 1927[5] while K. L. Richardson covered the period from 1927 to 1969[2] at the United Theological College, Bangalore. Both of them have covered the era of E. Prakasam in their research.[2]

When the Bible Society of India Andhra Pradesh Auxiliary was created, E. Prakasam was appointed to the key ecumenical position in 1953, a post which he held until his retirement in 1963[6] and was succeeded by A. B. Masilamani of the Protestant Church Society, Canadian Baptist Mission/Convention of Baptist Churches of Northern Circars.

Contribution

E. Prakasam was a prolific writer. Ravela Joseph and Suneel Bhanu on behalf of the Board of Theological Education of the Senate of Serampore College compiled original Christian writings in Telugu. They have included two of the titles of Prakasam in their exhaustive compilation:[7]

  • Original writings in Telugu
    • Peter Pope, the story of the first Protestant Indian Christian, 1942[7]
    • Modern Trends in Hinduism, 1950[7]

Further, the Church Historian, James Elisha Tanetim has written that E. Prakasam was the series editor at the Christian Literature Society, Madras for the volume Telugu Church Founders.[8]

The Christian Hymnal in Telugu lists one lyric written by E. Prakasam, Hymn 153, Nerchukonare Yesuvaduka...[9]

Giḍugu Vēṅkaṭa Sītāpati,[10] writing in the Sahitya Academy publication brings to light one of the writings of E. Prakasam entitled The Origin and Progress of the Christian Church in Andhra Desa. Professor Golla Narayanaswamy Reddy also cites an article of E. Prakasam with special reference to the influence of English in Telugu literature.[11]
