Dimapur, Dec. 21 (EMN): The WSBAK has ordained 70 including women marking a historic event in the entire North East India. The Ordination Board of WSBAK had decided to ordain the selected candidates keeping in mind the vastness of its association.
Many candidates were ordained by taking into consideration the difficulties faced by the pastors who have to enlist others to conduct communion and baptism. With the motive of having at least one ordained minister in every church, the ordination took place at Thilixu Village Baptist Church on December 19 in the presence of Rev. Dr. Khehovi Shohe, Director of Sümi Baptist Convention, and Rev. Dr. Hevukhu Achumi, Executive Secretary WSBAK, along with ordained ministers under WSBAK and host of family members and church members.
Altogether 15 candidates were ordained reverend while the rest were given ministry license which included 18 women.
Earlier WSBAK had already given ministry license to two women. It was the second time in which women were given the license.
