Baptist Church of Mizoram (BCM), the second largest church denomination in the state, has decided to push for baby boom. Delegates of the 129th assembly, the highest decision making authority of the BCM, passed an agenda advocating and appealing to married couples among the church members to conceive more babies. The assembly also agreed to combat rampant drug addiction and the spread of HIV/AIDS as well as corruption and other social ills. An agenda seeking to ban for life retired Baptist church pastors, who have dedicated to serve God and the church, from joining politics was rejected. Earlier, theBCM had decided to leave the MizOram Kohhran Hruaitute Committee (MKHC), a conglomerate of leaders of 16 major church denominations. The BCM also rejected the invitation to join the MizorAm Presbyterian Church-led MizorAM People’s Forum (MPF), an election watchdog which included civil societies. The delegates agreed that all the local churches should be asked to constitute committees to deal with these social problems.
