[edit] Bad sentence - Syrian Orthodox Church

What does this mean??

"This church has been alive and had by regular weekly Sunday services conducted by the Syrian Orthodox church (founded by St Thomas the Apostle in India) for the last 30 years."

Perhaps "had by regular weekly Sunday services" should be "had regular biweekly Sunday services"? And what does "been alive" mean? It has an active congregation? It once had an active congregation?

A bit of digging in Wikipedia and elsewhere suggests that the "Syrian Orthodox Church" is the Indian Orthodox Church, whose London website is here. Their website is not detailed, but seems to suggest that services at St. Andrew-by-the-Wardrobe are weekly. I propose removing the bit about St Thomas the Apostle, since it is almost certainly controversial (it appears to rely on the Acts of Thomas as a source, written about 150 years after the events described).

Unless anyone objects soon, I will change it to

"Regular Sunday services have been conducted here by the Indian Orthodox Church for the last 30 years"
