Nagaland conference calls Christians back to Bible

Nagaland Christians were urged to shun their animistic faith and turn back to the Word of God.

A three-day conference for church leaders was held from June 9 to 11 at the Withee Bible College, Dimapur.

The conference invited special guests from Singapore, Pastor Zephaniah Soh, Pastor Phinehas, David Yeoh, & Pastor Jesheiah Lim - -all from the Westminister Tradition Staff.

Founder of Withee Bible College, Rev. Dr. Vikheshe Chish, said the conference exhorted church leaders "Back to the Bible".

Even after the strong influence of Christianity, says Rev. Chishi, "Nagaland Churches are influenced with fable words and face difficulty to fully trust on the Living Word of God."

The root cause, he says, is the "past ancestral Animism faith."

"Though it seems very difficult to wipe out the ancestral faith, it is our obligation to educate and call our Nagaland Church leaders 'Back to the Bible' and struggle hard to wipe out the superstitious Animism faith."

"This is the sole concern to organize the Bible Study Conference for the Nagaland Church Leaders," he stated.
