Diocesan Youth Fellowship Council vows to proclaim "Lord is our Banner"  

The Durgapur Diocesan Youth Fellowship Council was held on 31 August 2007 with 52 youth members from different pastorates at the St. Michael's School auditorium, Durgapur . Mr. Daniel Thomas, Diocesan Secretary; Revd. N. C. Tudu, Diocesan Treasurer; Mr. Kamakhya Biswas, Secretary, DDYF; Revd. Swapan Dorman, President, DDYF; and Mr. Sudipta Singh , Programme Director, CNI Synod, graced the occasion.  

Rev. Swapan Dorman referred to the healing of woman with hunch (Lk. 13: 10-17) to remind the youths of Jesus Christ's humility to the sick and the suffering humanity and urged them to follow our Lord's footprints. Mr. Daniel Thomas and Revd. N. C. Tudu acknowledged the contribution of Bishop, Rt. Revd. Dr. Probal Kanto Dutta toward reviving the youth fellowship of the Diocese which, only four years age, seemed to have lost zeal and spirit.  

Rev. Sumanta Naru read selected chapters from the Bible to inspire the youths to become faithful and dedicated to Jesus Christ and to proclaim "Lord is my banner" while marching forward to rebuild a new society.  Mr. Sudipta Singh impressed the youths with his lucid style and eloquent expression of a story that urged them to recognize their inherent spirit and think high toward shaping their destiny.
