The Evangelical Apostolic Church of the North America, formally known as the Syro-Chaldean Church of North America, is a small communion of congregations in New York , Connecticut, and Jerusalem, Israel, that came from a mission movement of the Syro-Chaldean Church in India in the late 1800's. At that time, the Indian Church sent out missions to the north of India, im Hindu areas, and a mission to England - to be a sort of bridge church; not a Roman Catholic nor a Protestant church, but a reconciliation of the both by centering on the ancient apostolic and evangelical faith at once. This Church in England spread to Canada and then the U.S.east coast. Though the church is strongly evangelical and biblically oriented, it retains its understanding of being an apostolic body in succession from the Apostle Thomas and its understanding of its call to be a sacramental body of reconciliation. The following is from its self-description from its website:
