Ukhrul, June 28 2012:
Rajya Sabha MP, and former CM of Manipur, Rishang Keishing, inaugurated a Korea based Catherine Theological College and Seminary (CTCS) yesterday at Ukhrul (Hunphun) Khararphungtang, the first of its kind in Ukhrul ever since Christianity made its foray in Ukhrul district.
Speaking at the occasion, Catherine Theological College and Seminary founder President, Dr Catherine Lee, a Korean female Christian Missionary said the plan of the Project was conceived after she participated in the 100th Anniversary Conference of the Phungyo Baptist Church Women Society way back in 2010 as the main Speaker.
She came to the realisation that though over 95 percent of the Tangkhul population had been evangelized, there was a lack of proper educational system and theological schools to train these Christians.
The inaugural function of the theological institute was attended by thousands of people including Pastors of various Churches, District level Officers including the DC Ukhrul, institutional heads and leaders of the Tangkhul social organizations.
The function was moderated by Pastor PBC, S Ayonsui, while the welcome note was delivered by Catherine Theological College and Seminary Chairman Swaraj Samuel Shimray.
