==Studies==

===Graduate===
After Prabhudass discerned his avocation to become a [[Priest]], the [[Diocese of Dornakal]] led by [[V. S. Azariah]] sent him for ministerial formation to the [[United Theological College, Bangalore]],<ref>In the ''UTC Yearbook 1975'' (p.32), it has been written that B. Prabhudass studied for a [[Bachelor of Divinity|B.D.]] during 1941-1945. However, K. M. Hiwale's compilation titled the ''UTC Directory'' fails to attest to this fact though there are two references to Prabhudass, one as having taught at the College during 1974-1977 and the other as having studied a postgraduate course during 1951-1952.</ref> one of the affiliated seminaries of the [[Senate of Serampore College (University)]]<ref name="Shared"/> where he pursued a spiritual course leading to [[Bachelor of Divinity]]<ref name="Shared">''Shared Search - Souvenir of the inauguration of the academic collaboration between the [[United Theological College, Bangalore]] and the [[Dharmaram College]], [[Bangalore]]'', 1975, Bangalore, available at the Archives in the library of [[Karnataka Theological College]], [[Mangalore]].[https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/702131970]</ref> between 1941 and 1945<ref>''The [[United Theological College, Bangalore]] Yearbook'', 1975, p.32, Change of addresses of past students, p.32, available at the Archives in the library of [[Karnataka Theological College]], [[Mangalore]].</ref> during the Principalship of [[Max Hunter Harrison]]. Other companions of Prabhudass during that period who were studying at varying intervals included [[A. E. Inbanathan]], [[C. Arangaden]], [[J. R. Chandran]], [[S. J. Samartha]], [[B. G. Prasada Rao]] and others.<ref name="Hiwale"/> Prabhudass was awarded the degree of [[Bachelor of Divinity|B.D.]] during ensuing convocation of the University during the Registrarship of [[The Reverend|The Rev.]] C. E. Abraham.

===Post-graduate===
In 1951, during the bishopric of [[A. B. Eliott]], Prabhudass was resent to the [[United Theological College, Bangalore]] for upgrading his academics where he enrolled for a postgraduate course leading to [[Master of Theology]] during 1951-1952,<ref>''The United Theological College Year Book 1976'', Change of addresses of past students, p.41, available at the Archives in the library of [[Karnataka Theological College]], [[Mangalore]].</ref> during the Principalship of [[M. H. Harrison]] becoming the fifth<ref name="Hiwale"/> postgraduate student in the history of the College. The University awarded an [[M.Th.]] during its convocation the following year during the Registrarship of [[The Reverend|The Rev.]] W. W. Winfield.

Prabhudass also went for research exposure to [[England]],<ref name="Ancestry">[http://search.ancestry.co.uk/cgi-bin/sse.dll?gl=IMG_PASSLISTS&rank=1&new=1&MSAV=0&msT=1&gss=angs-c&gsln=Prabhudas&uidh=000&so=2 ''Ancestry''. UK, Outward Passenger Lists, 1890-1960 Passenger Lists]</ref> during the Bishopric of [[P. Solomon]] and returned to [[India]] in 1958.<ref name="Ancestry"/>

==Ecclesiastical ministry==
Soon after Prabhudass completed his [[seminary]] studies, he was assigned pastoral roles in the [[Diocese of Dornakal]] from 1945 onwards. Prabhudass was a Seminary Teacher at the Andhra Union Theological College (AUTC), [[Dornakal]], teaching along with [[Eric J. Lott]]. By 1959,<ref name="Edinburgh">''Quarterly Paper - Edinburgh Medical Missionary Society'', Volume 22, Issues 13-30, 1959, p.327.[https://books.google.com/books?id=YcvjAAAAMAAJ&q=b.prabhudass]</ref> much before the integration of the AUTC into the [[Andhra Christian Theological College]], [[Rajahmundry]], Prabhudass had moved out to medical ministry as a [[Chaplain]] at the [[Church of South India|CSI]]-Mission Hospital,<ref>''District Census Handbook, Andhra Pradesh, Census 1961: Nalgonda'', Superintendent of Census Operations, Andhra Pradesh, 1967, p.94.[https://books.google.com/books?id=Z6kWAQAAMAAJ&q=phanigiri+hospital]</ref> [[Phanigiri]].<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=v8vjAAAAMAAJ&q=b.prabhudass ''The National Christian Council Review'', Volume 85, 1965, p.365]</ref>

During 1974 he was assigned the role of a Cathedral Presbyter of the [[Church of South India|CSI]]-Epiphany Cathedral, [[Dornakal]]<ref name="Edwin"/> for a short period until he was sent to teach at the [[United Theological College, Bangalore]] the same year.

===Seminary Teacher===
Prabhudass was a Faculty Member from 1974 to 1977<ref name="Hiwale"/> at the [[United Theological College, Bangalore]] affiliated to India's first<ref>Sankar Ray, The Hindu (Business Line), 11 April 2008 ''Almost a century later, the charter was endorsed officially under the Bengal Govt Act IV of 1918.

The UGC took the opinion that the Senate fell under the purview of Section 2 (f) of the said Act since ''The Serampore College Act, 1918'' was passed by the Government of West Bengal.</ref> with degree-granting authority validated by a Danish Charter and ratified by the [[Government of West Bengal]].<ref name="Hiwale">K.

In 1975<ref name="Shared"/> when the [[United Theological College, Bangalore]] embarked on a fully [[ecumenical]] initiative with co-faculty made available from the [[Carmelites of Mary Immaculate]]-[[Dharmaram College]], [[Bangalore]], Prabhudass was also featured in the souvenir marking the inauguration of the educational partnership.<ref name="Shared"/> During the teaching period of Prabhudass from 1974 to 1977 the candidates studying at that period comprised [[Christopher Asir]], [[P. Surya Prakash]], S. W. Meshack, [[Mani Chacko]], [[D. N. Premnath]] and others from the graduate section while [[J. W. Gladstone]], [[D. Dhanaraj]] and others hailed from the post-graduate section.<ref name="Hiwale"/> Prabhudass' stint at the College coincided with the Registrarship of [[D. S. Satyaranjan]]<ref name="Shared"/> who was the College Registrar and [[Lecturer]] - in - [[New Testament]].

In 1977, while Prabhudass was teaching at the Theologiate in Bangalore, he was recalled to the [[Diocese of Dornakal]] led by [[P. Solomon]]<ref name="George"/> as there were plans for a greater role for Prabhudass in the Diocese. Based on the communication from the Bishop, [[Joshua Russell Chandran]]<ref name="Chandran"/> Principal<ref name="Hiwale"/> relieved Prabhudass in 1977<ref name="Hiwale"/> enabling him to return to the [[Diocese of Dornakal]] in September 1977.<ref name="Chandran">[[Joshua Russell Chandran]], ''Principal's Annual Report adopted by the College Council at their meeting on 2.4.1977'' in the ''United Theological College Annual Report 1976-1977'', pp.11-33, available at the Archives in the library of [[Karnataka Theological College]], [[Mangalore]].</ref>

===Bishopric===

====The Diocese====
The [[Diocese of Dornakal]] which was [[ecclesiastical]]ly erected in 1912<ref>''The Silver Jubilee Diocese of Dornakal - 1912-1937'', Mysore City, no date. Cited in Susan Billington Harper, ''In the Shadow of the Mahatma: Bishop V.S. Azariah and the Travails of Christianity in British India'', William B. Eerdmans Publishing, Michigan, 2000, p.407. [https://books.google.com/books?id=gvUqv6-pH4UC&dq=diocese+of+dornakal+1912&pg=PA407]</ref> was led by Bishop [[V. S. Azariah]] right from the time of its inception until his sudden death in 1945<ref name="Edwin">M. Edwin Rao (Compiled), ''Prophet Azariah and the Blessed Dornakal: A centenary revisit 1912-2012'', Dornakal Diocese, Dornakal, 2012, pp. 73, 127.</ref> In the [[postcolonialism]] scenario, the geographical area of the diocese was considerably reduced during the bishopric of [[A. B. Eliott]] with the formation of new dioceses<ref name="George"/> in 1947 resulting in the [[Diocese of Krishna-Godavari]],<ref name="Edwin"/> [[Diocese of Rayalaseema]]<ref name="George"/><ref name="Edwin"/><ref>Originally formed as Diocese of Anantapur-Kurnool and Diocese of Cuddapah until their merger into Diocese of Rayalaseema in 1950</ref> and [[Diocese of Nandyal]].<ref name="Edwin"/> As a result of the conversations that took place in the [[Church of South India Synod]] to further reduce the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the [[Diocese of Dornakal]], the Moderator, [[N. D. Ananda Rao Samuel]] announced the bifurcation of the [[Diocese of Dornakal]] as a result of which the [[Diocese of Karimnagar]] was erected on March 12, 1978<ref name="George"/> Subsequently, the CSI-Wesley Church in [[Karimnagar]] was consecrated as a [[Cathedral]]. Prabhudass was reassigned to the [[Diocese of Karimnagar]] upon bifurcation.

====Consecration and ministry====
With the erection of the Diocese of Karimnagar in 1978,<ref name="George"/> the [[Church of South India Synod]] announced the appointment of Prabhudass to lead the newly erected diocese. [[N. D. Ananda Rao Samuel]] then Moderator of the [[Church of South India Synod]] principally consecrated Prabhudass at the CSI-Wesley Cathedral, [[Karimnagar]] as the first Bishop - in - Karimnagar in the presence of the co-consecrator, [[Solomon Doraiswamy]], the Deputy Moderator at the CSI-Wesley Cathedral in [[Karimnagar]] and [[P. Solomon]], the Bishop-in-Dornakal. During the bishopric of Prabhudass from 1978 to 1982,<ref name="Surya">[https://oimts.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/2013-2-prakash.pdf P. Surya Prakash, ''Karimnagar Diocese 133 years and beyond'']</ref> he was entitled to use the ecclesiastical prefix ''[[The Right Reverend]]'' and attended two conclaves of the [[Church of South India Synod]],
* the seventeenth Synod held at the [[Madras Christian College]], [[Tambaram]] from 10–14 January 1980 which elected [[Solomon Doraiswamy]] as its Moderator and [[I. Jesudasan]] as its Deputy Moderator,<ref name="George"/>
* the eighteenth Synod held at [[Vellore]] from 11–15 January 1982 which elected [[I. Jesudasan]] as its Moderator and Sundar Clarke as its Deputy Moderator.<ref name="George"/>

Prabhudass was part of the Synod in 1982 which voted with 2/3rds majority for the [[Ordination of women]] as [[Priests]] in the [[Church of South India]] leading to the subsequent ordination of [[Elizabeth Paul]] in 1987 as the first ordained woman [[Priest]] of the [[Church of South India]]. Incidentally, [[J. R. Chandran]], a companion of Prabhudass, co-founded the [[Association of Theologically Trained Women in India]] which took up the issue of [[Ordination of women]] not only with the [[Protestant]] Churches in India but also with the [[Catholic]] Church heads.

After ministering for nearly 5 years in the bishopric, Prabhudass vacated the [[Cathedra]] in [[Karimnagar]] in 1982<ref name="George"/> on attaining superannuation resulting in [[sede vacante]] following which the [[Church of South India Synod]] led by [[I. Jesudasan]], then Moderator of the [[Church of South India Synod]] appointed [[G. B. Devasahayam]]<ref name="George"/> in 1982 to succeed Prabhudass.

====Lambeth Conference====
As Bishop - in - [[Diocese of Karimnagar|Karimnagar]], Prabhudass attended the eleventh [[Lambeth Conference]] held at the [[University of Kent at Canterbury]] in 1978 presided by the [[Archbishop of Canterbury]], [[Donald Coggan]].

===Administrator===
Ever since Prabhudass was consecrated as a Bishop in 1978, he became an ''ex-officio'' member of the Board of Governors at the [[Andhra Christian Theological College]], a vernacular medium Protestant Regional Theologiate in Hyderabad with near-ecumenical<ref>Near-ecumenical, that is Catholics excluded.</ref> composition consisting of,
* the [[Baptists]] ([[Convention of Baptist Churches of Northern Circars]] and [[Samavesam of Telugu Baptist Churches]]),
* the [[Anglicans]], the [[Congregationalists]] and the [[Wesleyans]] through the [[Church of South India]] (Dioceses of [[Diocese of Dornakal|Dornakal]], [[Diocese of Karimnagar|Karimnagar]], [[Diocese of Krishna-Godavari|Krishna-Godavari]], [[Diocese of Madras of the Church of South India|Madras]],<ref>The Diocese of Madras, although situated in [[Tamil Nadu]] includes [[Chittoor]] which falls under [[Andhra Pradesh]].</ref> [[Diocese of Medak|Medak]], [[Diocese of Nandyal|Nandyal]], [[Diocese of Rayalaseema|Rayalaseema]])
* the [[Lutherans]] ([[Andhra Evangelical Lutheran Church]], [[Good Samaritan Evangelical Lutheran Church]] and [[South Andhra Lutheran Church]]),
* the [[Methodists]] ([[Methodist Church in India]])


The theologiate in which Prabhudass was a Board Member was notable for its [[Old Testament]] scholarship throughout India as two [[Old Testament]] Scholars [[Victor Premasagar]]<ref name="Wilson"/> and G. Babu Rao<ref name="Wilson">[[H. S. Wilson]] (Edited), ''The Church on the Move, Essays in honour of [[Victor Premasagar]]'', Christian Literature Society, Madras, 1988, p.vi. [https://books.google.com/books?id=S-wrAAAAMAAJ&q=babu+rao]</ref> were teaching at the regional theologiate at that time. Prabhudass provided the required management especially at a time when the Principalship rotated<ref>Principalship at the Protestant regional theologiate is on the basis of rotation every four years by the participating Church societies. Refer list of Principalships in article on [[Andhra Christian Theological College]].</ref> from the [[Church of South India]] to the [[Convention of Baptist Churches of Northern Circars]] due to the election of [[Victor Premasagar]], [[Church of South India|CSI]], [[Ph.D.]] ([[University of St Andrews|St. Andrews]]) as General Secretary of the [[Church of South India Synod]] in 1980<ref name="George"/> resulting in the appointment of Komaravalli David,<ref>K.
