The North East India Christian Council has been actively engaging itself with contextual issues, especially those that concern its member units and the Northeast India as a whole. Huge amount of reflections and discussions resulting in various positive outcomes have occurred. They are worthy as objects of remembrance, and also deserve careful study by the present and future generations.

This book contains a good part of that long history. The articles, even though diverse in style, are representative of the main concerns of the Council all these years. Some of the materials are historically important, some missionally and ecumenically relevant, and some socially and spiritually challenging. What they clearly manifest is the deep concern about church unity, prioritization of mission works, struggle for social relevance, and never ending spiritual self examination.

Read it to learn the need to foster unity among the churches, and to enlarge Christian vision towards serving the society through the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
