CNBC appeals to TNL to revoke excommunication of Dr Shishak
KOHIMA, SEPTEMBER 15 (MExN): Council of Naga Baptist Churches while expressing ‘pain and deep hurt’ over the resolution of Tangkhul Naga Long to excommunicate Rev Dr Tuisem Shishak for his recent confessional statement, has appealed TNL to revoke the resolution before it attracted any negative implication.
CNBC general Secretary Rev Dr VK Nuh in a letter to TNL president, Stephen Angkang, said that no tribe is free from sin of pride, prejudice, arrogance and the likes, and the sinful nature of Nagas, their waywardness, division, dissension and disunity which has continue to create serious social constraints leading to bloodshed and killing has become a great hindrance in political peace process.
‘Shed tears not blood’ is the crying voice of every heart. There must be tribal and national repentance, reconciliation and peace if we are to find a common destiny with dignity. Even tribe must repent and confess”, the letter read.
Of all the tribes, the Tangkhul tribe could set a very outstanding glaring example if the path of repentance and confession could be pursued with eminent leader like Dr T Shishak, but unfortunately a moral and spiritual reality is to suffer in the face of a socio-political environment, reverend said.
“A prophet has no honour in his home’ but we re-affirmed that honest expressions of Dr Shishak deserve serious consideration by all Naga people”, Nuh also said, adding that the need of the hour is not reaction but interaction, not rejoinder but repentance, not recrimination but reconciliation, not confection but confession, which brings peace and understanding.
“In line with the scriptures, we need to reason together to find ways of solving our common problems and constraints in the nation building process”, the letter also said , while urging the TNL to review and revoke with retrospection before their resolution attract any negative implication, in the interest of Naga national movement.
