Captain Christopher Biden, H.C.S.

New American President Joe Biden’s Connection to the CSI St George’s Cathedral Chennai Revealed! The American presidential election, which was keenly watched by the world, resulted in the election of Mr Joe Biden as the 46th President of the United States of America and Ms Kamala Harris as the Vice- President. Interestingly, a connection of Joe Biden with the CSI St. George’s Cathedral in Chennai is now grabbing the attention of Indian readers. Many a newspaper published the news about the tablet placed at the CSI St George’s Cathedral in Chennai to record the reverence to the memories of Captain Christopher Biden, who was the great grandfather of Joe Biden, served Madras (Chennai) as the ‘Master Attendant’ for 19 years. This tablet was erected in the second half of the 19th century.

St. George’s CSI cathedral was the venue of the declaration of the formation of the Church of South India in 1947. The church was established in 1815 and celebrated its bicentenary half a century back. It is really a curious news that the church has a connection with the American President-elect. Earlier, the news about the Indian- precisely Tamil Nadu- connection of the American Vice- President-elect Ms Kamala Harris was a big story in India. Like many others across the world, the Church of South India also joins in wishing God’s wisdom upon the newly elected leaders of the United States of America.
