Eleventh triennial convention of the Nagaland Baptist Church Council (NBCC) women department got underway at Town Hall here Friday in a very grand note with more than 20 NBCC affiliated churches\u2019 associations coming together for the historic meet of Naga women.<\/p>\n
The three-day convention is being hosted by Sumi Baptist Akukuhou Kuqhakulu (SBAK), Nito Mount women department.<\/p>\n
Speaking on the theme \u201cin step with the spirit\u201d, Dr. Hutton, speaker of the introductory service, stressed on the prevalent functioning of Churches today in the contemporary world.<\/p>\n
He emphasized on the \u201creal concept of spirituality\u201d by citing various examples and comparison of Jesus Christ and the Jerusalem temple.<\/p>\n
Challenging the functioning of Churches in the land, he urged the gathering to focus on \u201cbuilding people\u201d rather than building huge structures and end up being like the Jerusalem temple during Jesus\u2019 time.<\/p>\n
He said civil societies, NGOs and individuals were performing the tasks of the Churches towards the downtrodden owing to the Church\u2019s negligence and ignorance.<\/p>\n
Dr. Hutton concluded his message by highlighting the \u201cmicro ministry\u201d i.e. to begin from one\u2019s own kitchen, locality or neighborhood.<\/p>\n
The opening service was chaired by SBAK women secretary Kuholi Chishi and the introductory note was delivered by NBCC women secretary Rev.Narola. <\/p>\n
The welcome address was presented by SBAK chairperson Atoli K Yeptho followed by the presentation and two special numbers by Nito Theological College choir and Nagamese Baptist Church Association. <\/p>\n
