Archdioceses and religious organizations across India are coming together during the Christmas season to promote interreligious harmony and peace in the face of increasing religious tensions and violence.
In response to increasing religious tensions in India , Archdioceses and organizations across the country gather to promote interreligious harmony during the Christmas season. India has been witnessing religious disharmony for the past couple of years with an increase in persecutions this year. Christians in particular have been victims of such atrocities ranging from the large-scale violence in Manipur to smaller groups being falsely accused of seeking to convert others.
In this context, Archdioceses and religious organizations have gathered in different parts of the country to further the cause of peace and harmony among various religious groups. While the gatherings showcase solidarity to the victims of religious intolerance, these gatherings represent a call for interfaith unity and dialogue, and are intended to celebrate the spirit of Christmas through the eyes of the Indian constitution in a hope for a peaceful future. In Northeast India, the Archdiocese of Imphal mourned the loss of the victims of violence in Manipur and gathered to reconcile the conflicting groups. As part of a nationwide initiative titled “Mourning and Forgiveness for Manipur,” the multi-faith event featured prayers and expressions of solidarity which aimed at healing the wounds inflicted by the recent violence. A significant highlight of the gathering was the launch of the Manipur Peace Fund, which aims to educate the younger generation in peacebuilding and conflict resolution. The initiative called for a modest contribution of just one rupee a day from supporters across the country. Organizers believe that such collective efforts can make a substantial impact in fostering a culture of peace and understanding. In Delhi, pastors from various Christian denominations gathered for global and national peace, with a special focus on the ongoing ethnic unrest in Manipur
