|December 24, 2024
In 1924, Christian missionary Charles Walker Posnett built Medak Cathedral. As the church celebrates 100 years, his grandson Dickon Walker Posnett speaks to CE about this iconic structure, its history, and more
EDAK Cathedral, located almost 90 km north of the urban metropolis of Hyderabad, is a monumental symbol of Telangana's rich historical heritage. Built in the Gothic style by Charles Walker Posnett in 1924, this remarkable church stands tall even today, serving parishioners and many others. As the church celebrates 100 years, Dickon Walker Posnett, the grandson of Charles Walker Posnett, speaks exclusively to CE.
"I was here for the 75th anniversary of Medak Cathedral, and about four years ago, I was already thinking about coming for the centenary celebrations. It is amazing to see so much activity in the church and how it continues to grow, positively impacting the lives of many, many people. My grandfather always had a vision to help people," says Dickon.
