It's the reconciling love of God that has made us so ready to join hands with others in the name of Christ. Disciples have always believed that division within the body of Christ betrays our mission and undermines our witness to the power of God's love to reconcile and bring wholeness to our fragmented world. Our society -- where persons and communities so often feel abandoned and isolated and abused -- cries out for true signs of healing, and hope, and wholeness. We long to be among those signs, said Rev.R.S.Keivom the chairman of Manja Christian Forum while addressing the ecumenical palm Sunday celebration at Manja on 17th April. The celebration which brought together above one thousand people was jointly organized by 17 churches in Manja area.
The entry of Jesus to Jerusalem and other events were enacted by Fr.Dominic Teron, the vice Rector of Mission Home together with the seminarians. Thanks to the creativity of our seminarians, Jesus was on a bicycle, a common means of transportation in our area.
All the churches unanimously postponed their church services to accommodate the common programme in the morning. Gospel singing from different churches, exhortations from church leaders and the Kuki chuches singing Karbi Songs were the highlights of the programme.
