History edit
The 1984-91 period marked a challenging chapter for the Mannar Methodist Church, as the community faced the devastation of Sri Lankan Civil War[1].[2] Rev. Sathiaseelan Kingsbury Kadirgamar(youngest son of the late Rev. J. W. A. Kadirgamar (Methodist Minister Malaysia) and late Grace Kadirgamar), a minister associated with the church, lived and sustained the Mannar-Murunkan Circuit, with his service proving a great blessing. He provided psychological support for those suffering from trauma and established Boys' Homes and initiated various other community upliftment programs. During his service in the Mannar-Murunkan Circuit, Rev. Kadirgamar was given the opportunity to participate in a Summer School Course on psychological issues of the refugees in an international development society at Queen Elizabeth House, Oxford University College.[3]
