Addressing a gathering at the cathedral in Kohima on Tuesday, Reverend Quintana said the world was full of violence, hatred and division, and called upon the people to work for peace.
Nagaland Governor Shyamal Datta said that the state has been a victim of conflict, hostility, animosity and bitterness and added the people have realised that violence cannot solve problems.
State Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio said Christianity does not believe in the separation of state and religion. ''We cannot divide life between religious life and mundane life."
Christianity integrates and harmonises both. It is therefore essential that we practice in our home and our workplace what we preach as God loves and protects us, we must love and protect one another,'' he added.
