Morung Express News Dimapur | February 12 The 79th Annual Council of the Nagaland Baptist Church Council (NBCC) got underway at Nagaland Police Baptist Church Association (NPBCA) Mission Centre, Chumukedima. The three-day council held on the theme “Abundant Life” is hosted by NPBCA and the inaugural function and worship service on Friday night witnessed around 500 delegates from various church associations under NBCC and guests from abroad. President NBCC, Rev. Dr. Mar Atsongchanger, in his message underlined the sharp contrast of the theme “Abundant Life” (John 10:10) with contemporary Naga society. Rev. Mar said though Nagaland prides itself as a Christian state with 90 percent of the population being Christians, yet the percentage is “shocking” taking into account the manner in which Nagas are running the affairs of the state and their own lives.
