Japan – Naga Christian Reconciliation Summit

Japan – Nagaland Christian Reconciliation Summit at Khedi Baptist Church, Kohima village, Nagaland. Represented by Japanese Christians, Naga veterans & elders, Naga Christians & Church leaders, musicians & politicians. Where the Japanese and Naga delegates reminisced on the atrocities their people have committed to each other during the Second World War (WWII) when Kohima became a battlefield then. Seventy-one years on, the two communities have come together to seek forgiveness from one another in a true Christian spirit, closing the wounds of the War in the hope to bring healing to the people of both the countries and to develop friendship through evangelism.

“We want to express to you our heartfelt apologies that the Japanese really caused a lot of trouble, anxiety and problem to you….. We actually should have come here much sooner because the actual battle happened 71 years ago,” said Rev. Jun Takimoto, Senior Pastor Shinshiro Church, Aichi, Japan.
On behalf of Naga elders and also on behalf of the veterans of the War, Khietso Pienyü from Kohima’s neighbouring village of Chedema and Zhavise Vihienuo of Chiechama also delivered brief speeches and asked for forgiveness from the Japanese in the name of Christ and called upon the Nagas to forgive the Japanese in Christian spirit.
