DIMAPUR, NOVEMBER 21 (MExN): The Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) has termed the Nagaland Baptist Church Council’s (NBCC) recent 10 point commitment as a “call for us to work for greater unity and better understanding amongst various groups of people through cessation of selfish pursuits and conflicts that divide and damage the historical harmony of Nagas.”
A press release from the NPCC President, K Therie said that the commitment is addressed to politicians and government employees. “It is with deep concern. All they want is politicians and government employees to change.
There is no point that can be ignored. It is also a call to all sections of the people of Nagaland,” the Congress said.
“Today with 95% Christian rural population we celebrate 150 years of Christianity. As a layman Christian, deep in my heart I feel unqualified to celebrate for I believe one can celebrate only when one is satisfied with performance,” it added.
The NPCC said that the Church “wants us to stand true to apostolic faith deep rooted in the Bible and strong in the foundational doctrinal affirmations.” “To actively participate in the task of caring for God’s creations, taking our duty and privileges as custodians of the earth seriously and working towards retaining the original state of goodness is of utmost importance,” it stated.
The NPCC said that “this call is a reflection of the present disorderly situation that shames our Christian State,” and hoped that the deliberation “will strengthen us all.”
