UKHRUL, March 27: The three-day Naga Baptist Leaders’ Meet 2025, concluded on Thursday in a powerful note with a solemn ‘March for Unity and Solidarity’, from Long Ground, Ukhrul to the Union Baptist Church (UBC).
The march began with a prayer of blessing led by Rev Izieteilung Tering, the State Chaplain of Nagaland, and was marked by ordained ministers dressed in cassocks leading the procession, followed by hundreds of leaders in a display of unity. This symbolic march brought the historic gathering to a poignant end, reinforcing the spirit of solidarity among Naga leaders.
The Naga Baptist Leaders also resolved to strengthen their faith, love, and oneness in Christ, with a commitment to work towards community care, unity in worship, and witnessing Christ in both words and deeds. The leaders proposed organizing a prayer summit in the near future to further solidify their mission.
