    It is a great move by our Top Christian Religious leaders to stress upon its folks to co exist with our other Religion brethren. No Religion Scriptures teaches to hate others. Hope we shall put this to practice in our daily life.

    This is a move in the right direction. We are all children of The same Mother Earth and it is our duty to live in harmony in a gesture of peaceful co-existence.

    Let religions not be barriers but doors open at all the time.

    Colossians 1:23
    If you continue in your faith, established and firm, and do not move from the hope held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven.

    All religions take us to God. So there should be equality.As far as one follows one's religion is fine to lead a good life as per their belief in a particular religion. Undivided twin districts always maintained harmonious co-existence. This should be maintained in modern day and respect each other including all other religions so that there will be mutual harmony and peace understanding respect . It is good that our Bishop is stressing this which is need of the hour . Also India is great and beautiful country practicing great religions of the world and rich culture.

    "Respect Others Belief" is a mantra need to be spread within the community first so that harmonious relationship can be maintained everywhere, thus the 0.2% hazardous communal venom omitting bad elements of every religion who are in the headlines will be disappear slowly from the society.Let us scrap the communal konkani word " anbhavarthi" for other believers for the happy life next generation.
