RSS Renews Chritian-Baiting

On Nov. 21-24, 1981, the North-East India Council of Churches held a secret seminar in Shillong on Evangelization i.e. conversion. Rev. K. Yme Aier, in his paper, said that for conversions, “the fullness of time is now.” He said it would be ‘disastrous” if they let go this opportunity. The opportunity was great, he said. because N. E. India had now been splintered into seven states. against the original three. Another plus factor was the “foreigners” issue. which could be used by other states also. Last and most important: “There are about 26 million peoples, of which Christians form hardly 12%. In general Christians are a minority. But at the top decision-making level, Christians form a majority. Four of the seven Chief Ministers are Christians and likewise of the Chief Secretaries of the States, four are Christians and 3 non-Christians. Our Christian ministers can influence their counterparts at the decision-making table for this region. Though dominated by an overwhelming non-Christian population, Christians can exert tremendous amount of influence in the region and thereby make the task of mission and Evangelism have all the more less resistance.” (9.S.S Journal.
