CNI celebrates festival of peace on Christmas

The CNI’s Delhi diocese along with its institutions and churches of other denominations joined the celebrations.

 

With an aim to bring the message of love and joy to the citizens of Delhi, the Church of North India (CNI) organized a festival to promote peace on the occasion of Christmas.

The CNI’s Delhi diocese along with its institutions and churches of other denominations joined the celebrations during the “Aman Ka Utsav” in the national capital on Dec. 19.

"Beti Bachao Beti Padhao" a skit to sensitize people on social issues was staged by the children of St. Thomas Girls H.S. School.

About twelve choirs representing different churches and prominent institutions of Delhi presented Christmas carols.

“It is an opportunity to pray for the whole nation especially for the president as well as the prime minister of India that the God blesses them to lead this great nation on the path of peace, prosperity and communal harmony," Alwyn Masih, General Secretary of CNI Synod said.

He said that Christmas, the celebration of birth of Jesus, is the good news of great joy, to all humanity.

However, how can one share in that justice, righteousness and joy when millions of people on earth are in bondage to poverty, ignorance and disease, he said.
