WAS VANRAMCHHUANGI RIGHT ABOUT SOMETHING?

Last week, social activist and Human Rights and Law Network strongwoman Vanramchhuangi revealed an embarassing internal dysfunction within the Baptist Church of Mizoram in an article published by some newspapers in Lunglei.

Many wondered and even questioned why a social activist from a non-Baptist background decided to get involved in what is largely seen as an internal church denominational issue.

The article implied that women's rights and even human rights may be violated and made open suggestions to the leaders of the Baptist Church of Mizoram to reconsider their decision for the sake of the church. Furious may be too weak a word to describe the Baptist leaders' (and members') reaction to the provocative article. Nevertheless, in the footsteps of Christ who taught to "turn the other cheek", the Baptist Church of Mizoram has not responded to the public revelation of its uneasy internal affairs. According to one source, the church is planning to publish an official response through the Baptist Today, weekly journal of the BCM.

The issue Vanramchhuangi, or otherwise known as "Ruatfela Nu", highlighted was the follow up of the 2008 BCM Assembly resolution No.1.21.

The 2008 Assembly passed an agenda that recognised the challenges of a pastor's ministry in his pastorate without his wife. In the past, some of the pastors' wives have not been able to live with their husbands in their pastorates due to reasons ranging from health to children's education, work etc,. Church members, especially in the rural pastorates, have often expressed their desire to have their pastors accompanied by their wives for various reasons, some of which are clearly well grounded while some may be cultural.

The 2008 Assembly agenda proposed a solution to address what is believed to be a longstanding issue. Here's the actual resolution written in Mizo - "Sawt zawk leh tangkai zawka rawng kan bawl theih nan, Bialtu Pastor chuan a thawhna hmunah a nupui a hruai ngei tur a ni."

The Assembly, recognising the important role of a pastor's wife in the overall pastoral ministry, resolved to have a married pastor ensure that his wife accompanies him to his "workplace" on a permanent basis. In the churches of Mizoram, regardless of denomination, a pastor's workplace is either his pastorate or assigned church office.

The second part of the Assembly resolution makes provision for exemption on health grounds. If the pastor's wife is sick or not healthy and is unable to avail medical treatment from her husband's rural pastorate or wherever he may work, the pastor and his wife can request the Pastoral Committee to allow her to live where she may be able to maintain her health or medical assistance. The understanding is that the Pastoral Committee will look into each request and say "yes" or "no" based on the health and healthcare of the pastor's wife.

The third and last part of this Assembly resolution has become the most contentious and controversial one as it imposes strict penalty on non-compliance while it allows relaxation for non-government employees i.e., church employees. The rationale for this provision is the "need" of the church department where the pastor's wife works. Provisions for state or union government or other non-church employees were not made in the resolution.

"Kum 2015 hnu lamah chuan Pastor/Minister nupuite chu Sawrkar hna leh hna dang Full Time a thawh phal a ni lo ang a. Kohhranin Pastor/Minister nupui service mamawh tak takna a nei anih chuan, a mamawhtu Department chuan Pastoral Committee-ah a dil thei ang a, Pastoral Committee chuan a thu tlukna chu Executive Committee-ah a thlen ang."

According to some reports, a number of attempts have been made to make changes for a more pragmatic approach since the adoption of the agenda by the highest decision making body of the church in 2008. One such attempt is an agenda from the Serkawn Pastorate. The agenda implored the Pastoral Committee "to search for a better way of dealing" with the  divisive and controversial part of the resolution.

This agenda was considered and discussed by the Pastoral Committee in November 2014 but a decision was made to uphold the 2008 Assembly resolution with the following steps for implementation. According to the understanding and interpretation of the resolution by some senior pastors in the church leadership, pastorate resolutions (such as the Serkawn Pastorate resolution mentioned above) cannot be deemed valid for consideration by the Pastoral Committee as it would contradict the resolutions of the BCM Assembly. In other words, the lower decision making body cannot change the decisions made by the higher decision making body. In this case, it is the highest decision making body. The Pastoral Committee reaffirmed the subordination of the lower levels of decision making and the authority of the BCM Assembly which, as mentioned and according to the BCM Constitution, is the highest as far as decision making is concerned.

With that in mind, the Pastoral Committee affirmed or decided the following:

1) Notice shall be given to all concerned pastors, probationary pastors and ministers for them to comply with the 2008 Assembly resolution.

2) The 2008 Assembly resolution shall be effective from April 2015.

The Committee added two strikingly disciplinary overtones to the original 2008 Assembly resolution by stating that the intention of the Assembly resolution was for the pastors to either resign or self impose a suspension if they are not able to persuade or compel their wives to resign from their jobs.

The Committee further added that unless their wives are exempted by the Pastoral Department and they still donot have their wives accompany them to their pastorates, they will be considered "disobedient to [their] superiors" and will come under the disciplinary clause of the Service Rules Chapter 10(4) which states:

If an employee is not efficient in his/her work and is disobedient to his/her superiors, and does not mend his/her ways even after being counselled, his/her superior shall take the matter to the concerned Committee. If the Committee is convinced that his/her performance is indeed inadequate, then it may take action against the employee in any one of the following ways: 

(1) Reprimanding. 
(2) Transfer. 
(3) Withholding a part or the full amount of his/her salary. 
(4) Demotion. 
(5) Suspension. 
(6) Terminating Service. 
(7) Compulsory Pension. If he/she is suspended or fired, it should be reported to the Assembly or the Executive Committee. 

Now, back to the original story. Why did Vanramchhuangi come into the picture and where does she fit in?

The issue of human rights was mentioned by the social activist. This was taken as an insult to the church by many who consider the church to have certain immunities and protections and not necessarily bound by the laws of the land. Generally, within the church, a person's right is considered subservient to the will of God and, to a large extent, the will of the church. Any assertion of secular rights issues, even human rights issues are often considered unbiblical and against God.

It is an inconvenient truth that the Baptist Church of Mizoram, in chapter 3 of its constitution titled "OBJECTIVES OF THE BCM" clearly spells out the church's view on human rights even before Vanramchhuangi mentioned it in her article.

"The methods and means used for the fulfillment of its mission may defer from time to time and place to place, at present, the following aims and objectives are identified: ...

5. To build a harmonious, peaceful, progressive and sustainable society, and promote justice and freedom and defend human rights (fundamental rights)."

This clause of the BCM Constitution even affirms human right as a fundamental right which happens to be enshrined in Article 19 (1) (g) of the Indian Constitution -

Protection of certain rights regarding freedom of speech etc
All citizens shall have the right...to practise any profession, or to carry on any occupation, trade or business
The Assembly resolution in 2008 that prohibits pastors' wives to work either in the government or non-government organisations is a violation of the highest laws of the Baptist Church of Mizoram --- the BCM Constitution --- and also the highest law of the land --- the Indian Constitution. Therefore, all discussions regarding the third part of the Assembly resolution stands invalid as far as the church is concerned and as far as the Indian law is concerned, the church is in violation of a well protected right which, when brought to a court of law, carries real penalties.

The Baptist Church of Mizoram, in its attempt to strengthen pastoral ministry, is charting dangerous and unwanted territory. It needs to correct the unconstitutional (both church and government) resolution by ceasing all decisions and recommendations flowing from that divisive resolution. It also needs to heal deep self inflicted wounds through godly leadership and prayer so that it can continue its mission without avoidable distractions.

"NOT THE BETTER HALF"


Do you remember the movie "Titanic"? I think you still do. Do you remember the part where panicked Ruth (Frances Fisher) asked, "Will the lifeboats be seated according to class? I hope they're not too crowded." Rose (Kate Winslet), in frustration and anger, replied, "Oh mother, shut up! Don't you understand? The water is freezing and there aren't enough boats. Not enough by half. Half the people on this ship are going to die."

And do you remember what Cal Hockley (Billy Zane) said right after that? "Not the better half" was what he said.

As we all know, the government of Mizoram led by Chief Minister Lalthanhawla is in what many would call "deep sh#%" as far as the economy is concerned. The state's 5000 plus crore debt (around 1 billion US dollars) continues to rise and the government seems to have only two solutions to rein in its spending that is driving the debt and deficit north - tax increase and culling of public employees!

The state's lone Rajya Sabha MP Ronald Sapa Tlau, a US-educated politician, recently admitted in the parliament that the state government is planning to increase taxes. This comes as a surprise because the admission is a rather naive political move on the part of the MP whose party is already under severe criticisms by the main opposition party and the public as being insensitive towards the people, even heavy-handed. He, however, did not specify the different areas where taxes would be raised. Regardless, any tax hike is likely to generate resentment from the people who are already feeling the pinch by the high cost of living and commodities and also the effect of the government's poor handling of the economy and finances.

The government of India led by a more pro-business, anti-socialist, right-wing PM Narendra Modi has made it clear to the states that they will have to up their game in the overall management of their economy and finances. The subsidized child of the country - the North Eastern region - according to some reports, is no longer going to enjoy some of the entitlements it previous took for granted. Take for example, funding of the Centrally Sponsored Schemes (CSS) such as Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA). Funding is now reduced and NE States will cease to enjoy their special category status that allows them to contribute only 10% of project costs while their counterparts contribute 35%.

"The the BJP government has reduced the Plan allocation for 2015-16 by 24.68 per cent. The savage cuts go across the board: the flagship Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan has been reduced by 22.14 per cent, funding for the Mid-Day Meal Scheme by 16.41 per cent, the Rashtriya Madhyama Shiksha Abhiyan for secondary education by 28.7 per cent and the Rashtriya Uchhattar Shiksha Abhiyan, to support state colleges, by 48 per cent. To take just one example, the SSA, which funds schools across the country: MHRD had asked for Rs. 50,000 cr in 2015-16; it received Rs. 22,000 cr from the Modi sarkar's current Budget" writes Dr.Shashi Tharoor, MP for Thiruvananthapuram, Kerela on NDTV website.

What is clear is that the Union government's budget cuts, in large part due to its belief in fiscal responsibility, is forcing the states to rethink about the way they manage their finances. For states like Mizoram, whose financial dependence is almost entirely on the handout from the government of India, even the 10% matching share to kickstart a government project is a struggle.

As a result, the state government is increasingly under pressure to lay-off its non-permanent employees and is gradually doing so. However, this move by the government creates an atmosphere of more disillusion and a deep sense of abandonment in the hearts of those employees whose ill-informed understanding of a government job is that of a secure one, with no possibility of really being laid-off like it is done in the corporate and business world - the real world. After all, in their mind, the government is a "good parent" who will always look after its "children". In fact, a lot of people believe in a government that will look after people from cradle to grave but somebody has to pay for it. This detrimental idea has been the driving force of most political parties in the state since the early political leaders in the early 50's demanded the abolition of the traditional Mizo Chiefs under whose rule the whole society was self sufficient. People are now lulled into a false sense of economic and job security by being taught to be dependent on government for jobs, handouts and bailouts. An entrepreneurial approach to generate wealth and income in the free market is the need of the hour. 

I personally know a government vehicle driver who decided to leave his job and take the risk of investing in school shoe business. He and his wife travel to Delhi and other Indian cities to buy school shoes at the most competitive prices and sell them to retailers in Aizawl. This former government driver generates more wealth for himself, and his retailers, selling school shoes than when he was chauffeuring his government boss from home to office. In fact, his resignation from his job saved the government money both short term and long term (that is, if the government had the wisdom not to employ another person in his place). I know this is true because the driver used to drive my father's government car.

The fact is - it is more liberating and less burdensome on the state's exchequer for people to venture out in the private sector and there are a number of real examples of successes. A thirty-some year old bachelor with an MBBS degree decided he would enter the appliances retail market and today he is one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the state, much to the amazement of other already established businesses. This young businessman would have been a state legislator if his main opponent wasn't a try-hard candidate throwing everything he had in the last election.

Until and unless the political parties, including the one in government, have the courage to admit that more government jobs and more tax increase fool the people and hurt the economy we will continue to see populist policies such as the failed New Land Use Policy (NLUP) which is perhaps the biggest economic wrecking ball of all. A 2800 crore plus project carved out of the state's plan fund! (No wonder the state is running out of money.)

The state government is increasingly running out of excuses to be that "good parent" to the people. With lesser money coming from the Central government and no plan for cutting government spending, the true nature of a populist government in trouble is beginning to show. Absurd tax and policies are being proposed and forced despite widespread opposition. Taxes are hiked, in some cases, double the previous rates. Charity organisations that were hitherto exempted from certain taxes are now prey to the government's mad hunger for cash it needs to fund its seemingly senseless existence.

The big problem is not so much that the people are unwilling to share the burden or play a part in rebuilding the economy. The problem lies in the arrogance and out-of-touch attitude of the leaders whose ignorance of the people's struggle is fanning the flame of resentment towards the political and economic elites. There is a class of people in the state that has amassed or has the connection and ability to amass enough wealth and money so that they will never be left high and dry when the economy collapses.

Much like that ill-fated sealiner, the state is headed for an economic iceberg and the captain of the ship (senior Congress party media department member V.Z.Kaia actually issued an official press release calling the Chief Minister "Captain Lalthanhawla"!) Chief Minister Lalthanhawla does not have a plan to steer the ship away from disaster - political and economic. When the ship hits the iceberg and it begins to sink, there will be thousands of people going down. "The water is freezing and there aren't enough (life) boats. Not enough by half. Half the people on this ship are going to die."
 
Like the arrogant and heartless Hockley, you will hear the Chief Minister and all who are like him say, "Not the better half".

God help us all when that happens!
