Participants along with resource speakers during the one-day
conclave on Christian marriage among millennial and generation-Z at CBCMH in
Kohima on Saturday.
- KOHIMA — Having
observed the lack of conversation on marriage in many homes today, the youth
department of Chakhesang Baptist Church Ministers’ Hill Kohima (CBCMHK) on
Saturday organised a conclave on ‘Christian marriage’ for millennial and
generation-z at the church premises.
- An update from the youth department stated that the conclave
was organised as the issue of marriage often evokes uneasiness, shame (taboo)
or even fear for both parents and their child. Besides, the topic remains
guarded until it dawns on many young people to rush into preparation.
- “They are typically excluded from conversations about
marriages and lack a sense of moral/ spiritual direction or a Biblical mandate
to lean on,” the youth department stated.

- Moderating session on ‘the Baptist distinctive on holy
marriage,’ CBCMHK youth director, Rakodu Nukhu, said the discussions were from
the Baptist perspective on marriage. He noted that conversation on marriage is
something that bothers a lot of young people today. He added that many things
were unclear and the youth are left without guidance especially when it comes
to Baptist context.
- He expressed hope that the discussion would guide
participants through various aspects of marriage.
