Members of the LBYLF pray during the rally on Thursday.
- WOKHA — The Lotha
Baptist Youth Leaders Forum (LBYLF) organised a rally on Thursday at Vankhosung
Ground to promote peace and unity within the Lotha Baptist Churches Association
(LBCA). Due to heavy rainfall, the event was later shifted to Wokha Village
Baptist Church.
- LBYLF convenor of the rally, Chenirao Jungi, clarified that
the rally aimed solely at addressing the division within LBCA, emphasising that
the matter concerns the entire Lotha community and requires an urgent
resolution.
- He refuted rumours of external influence, asserting that the
rally was conducted independently and peacefully. Noting the lack of progress
in the past three years, he stated that the youth have now stepped in, united
by the belief that LBCA must remain undivided.
- During the program, the LBYLF submitted a formal appeal to
the executive secretaries of both factions, highlighting the difficulties faced
by Lotha Baptist youths due to the division.

- It was urged that the LBCA leadership find an amicable
resolution, expressing confidence in their ability to do so while affirming
that the LBYLF would continue advocating until the churches are unified under
one LBCA within the Nagaland Baptist Church Council (NBCC).
- Copies of the letter were sent to key stakeholders,
including the NBCC, Lotha Baptist Pastors Conference, Lotha Hoho, Lotha Eloe
Hoho, Lotha Officers Forum, and LSU for record.
