Kohima, Apr 25: As part of ‘Naga Reconciliation: A journey of Common Hope,’ the Forum for Naga Reconciliation (FNR) celebrated Easter Sunday here yesterday.
It was attended by past and present ‘national workers (underground)’ belonging to different Naga political groups.
In a solemn service, FNR convener Rev Dr Wati Aier, in his Easter message, narrated the responses of some of the twelve disciples to the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and what they mean in the Naga context.
Rev Wati said that after the initial doubts and fears of disciples like Thomas and Peter in the resurrection of Jesus, when the latter showed his wounds and told them not to be 'afraid', the twelve disciples rose in unison and proclaimed to the Jerusalem authority that they were ready to spread the teachings of Jesus.
The FNR convener said that because of their strong faith and unity of purpose, a mere dozen disciples were able to turn the world upside down and bring forth a new dispensation.
Likewise, Rev Wati said that Naga national groups can also change the course of Naga history and present Naga world filled with bitterness, suspicions and fears, if they accept the call of Christ and have unity of purpose.
He said that the ongoing reconciliation process initiated by FNR was another God-given opportunity for Nagas and a reason to be together and appealed to all to support reconciliation.
