At the meeting of the Mizoram Synod of the Presbyterian Church of India, which concluded today in the city of Aizawl, the Synod Assembly approved a measure to preach against the government birth control policies.  The concern is that at the present rates of population increase the mizos ethnic group is in danger of becoming outnumbered and that birth rate should be increased.

The Newslink English Daily reports on the meeting which began on December 8.  Among the other interesting resolutions was one which said that a pastor’s wife may not hold a government job since that would not give her enought time to support her husband.  The Synod web site does have non-English agendas and summaries available.
