The Christian Elder's Peace Mission Imphal and Meitei Christian Churches Council Manipur on Wednesday jointly organised a ‘One day Fasting Prayer Programme’ on the theme ‘Restoration of Peace and Normalcy’ at Chadong New Site Baptist Church in Kamjong district on Wednesday.
On the occasion, secretary of Christian Elder Peace Mission Imphal Ashang Kasar highlighted that the programme was organised for Christians to pray for swift restoration of order and peace in Manipur.
“As our state is in flames, all Christians in Manipur, mainly the Tangkhul Nagas and Meitei Christians have come together to offer prayer and spread the message of oneness and peace to all people in Manipur,” he said.
He stated that love was the primary weapon needed at this juncture to assure swift peace and unity in the state. War cannot bring peace nor can it create a conducive environment for peace, he added.
Executive secretary Southern Tangkhul Naga Baptist Association Danial Kashung, Chadong New Site Bapstist Church pastor Ngahor Tangvah and members of Meitei Christian Churches Council along with church leaders of various denominations attended the programme.
Nearly 300 delegates from different churches attended and discussed the various issues faced by Meitei pastors and Christians in the ongoing crisis. Pastor of United Baptist Church Ukhrul Remember Rimai led the prayer.
