Today is the World
Environment Day, and the
Kohima Ao Baptist Arogo (Church) observed KABA CARE Sunday. CARE stands for Creating Awareness for Restoration
of Environment. The title
itself expresses its mission. It is an initiative of the Youth Department of
the church since last year. I really appreciate the activities of the youth and
also the way they try to convey their message. Last year they adopted an area
of Kohima, the capital town of Nagaland, and cleaned it. This year, besides
other activities, they are undertaking the renovation and painting of 4 worn
out and rusty over-bridges in the capital town. It is by no means an easy task
for a youth group! Bravo guys!
Besides the usual service routine, the one thing I really liked
today was the 'Responsive Reading.' Actually it is the reason behind the writing of this short blog post. Instead of going round the usual routine of Scripture
reading, a Pledge to save and care the environment was read. It was done so
tactfully, and the message was clear and powerful. I hope and believe that if
the congregation, all over the world, are made to read out this kind of pledges
regularly in the church, it will seep into our minds and conscience, and I believe its
impact would be just ‘wow’ in a few decades.
Long Live Mother Earth!
