Kohima, February 15 (MExN): Taking stock of the present situation in Nagaland, the Angami Baptist Church Council (ABCC) in its emergency meeting held on February 15 at Mission Centre here expressed regret and pain over the unfortunate development in the recent past. It denounced the killings, violence and arson “which are contrary to Christian values,” stated a press statement from V Atsi Dolie, Executive Director, ABCC.
ABCC fervently appealed to the NTAC, JCC and other frontal organizations to relax the bandh in the interest of the public. It also urged the government to be sensitive to the peoples’ voice and take measures to defuse the situation at the earliest.
“ABCC’s prayer is that both civil societies and government, while carrying out their responsibilities, should stick to the principle of love and truth,” it added. Meanwhile, the Council requested all its churches to pray for God’s intervention and healing to come in the society on February 17 from 6:00 am to 12 noon.
