Reflecting on Christian values, he added, “In Christ, we are one. Remember this gospel. We go to church, and the next day, we start fighting and hurting each other. This is not the way of Christianity. Someone must stand up and say, ‘No, this is not right.’ As ordained reverends, we should be spokespeople for God, speaking the truth and not twisting His words.”
The President of Tangkhul Naga Long, Sword Vashum, presented the award to Rev. Dr. Tuisem A. Shishak, stating, “You deserve it; you and you alone deserve this.”
