Rev. Prechard Basaiwmoit: Mission To the USA visitor from India
Rev. Prechard Basaiawmoit, a Presbyterian Pastor from Meghalaya, India, visited five churches in the Presbytery in April and May 2009. The congregations in Wyoming, Batavia, Scottsville, Leicester and York welcomed him into the activities of their churches while he was here. This was his first visit to the United States.
Rev. Prechard is the Vice-President of the National Council of Churches of India, and very involved in issues of poverty, corruption, natural and human-made disasters, ecological imbalances, division in the church, and the challenge of fundamentalism. He served as a peacemaker between the HNLF (a terrorist outfit) and the State Government of Meghalaya, India.
Rev. Basaiwmoit addressed the Presbytery at the May 23rd Stated Meeting at First Presbyterian Church of Pittsford. Read it here. Photos here.
