Mokokchung, April 15 (MExN): The 39th Clark Theological College (CTC) graduation ceremony was held at the College campus on April 13, 2014 with Dr. Wati Longchar, Dean, SCEPTRE, Kolkata as guest speaker and Dr. Lanunungsang, Pro-Vice Chancellor, NU, Kohima Campus, Meriema as guest of honour.
A press release from the principal of CTC, Rev. Dr. Takatemjen informed that in his speech, Dr Wati Longchar challenged the graduating class by dwelling on the joy and excitement in serving Christ. He drew attention to the fact that today we live in a society which is uncontrolled, manipulated, and destroyed by an unjust economic, political and religious system. “Our system has become like a tomb. There is nepotism, corruption, violence and bloodshed everywhere. It is only when one serves with commitment that one’s labour of love will be rewarded,” he said. Meanwhile, Prof. Dr Lanunungsang exhorted the congregation that as servants of Christ, the graduates must remember the four H’s. The first H stands for Head, the second for Heart, the third for Hearing, and the last H for Hand. It is only when one serves with the Head, the Heart, the Hearing, and the Hands that people will be blessed, he added.
