Hajom Kissor Singh
Khyndiat, ki jingkynthoh na ki Unitarian shabar Ri:
1). Margaret Barr, a British Unitarian who served the Khasi Unitarian Community after Singh’s time, wrote of his religious outlook “He (Hajom Kissor Singh) felt and declared that the message of election, damnation and salvation by joining to a certain church and profession of a certain creed was not incompatible with the teaching of Jesus as he read for himself in the Gospels….. He tried to persuade his fellow Christians that the essence of Christiannity was to be found in Christ’s way of life and scale of values and not in any scheme of salvation by blood or faith ………. Whether Pauline or Calvinistic.”
2) Dr. Rev. Spencer Lavan wrote, “Rev. Charles H.A. Dall, an American Unitarian Minister in Calcutta sent a Volume of the writings of Dr. William Ellery Channing, D.D. Hajom Kissor Singh suddenly understood that many other, called Unitarian, shared his faith. Therafter he called his faith “Ka Niam Unitarian’-
The Unitarian Religion.”
Dr. Rev. Spencer Lavan recommended the following Books and Articles for further informations to Babu Hajom Kissor Singh:
i) Bruce Finlow, Kharang (1955),
ii) Mary Lawrance, “Khublei.”
The story of The Khasi Hills Liberal Churches (1964),
iii) Unitarians and India (1977) By Spencer Lavan.
iv) Growth and Development of Unitarianism in the Khasi Hills and Jaintia Hills (1989)
By Renewlet Nongbri
v) Harper;s Ferry Ministrial Study Group (November 1999)
Rev. Leon Harper writes:
Quote: -
“Singh throughout his life was a very thoughtful, reflective, curious man. He became a student of the Bible and relished the opportunity to explore religious through the philosophies…..
“Singh, at the age of 19 began to realize that the teaching he found in the Bible or the Good News spread by Jesus and his close disciples was not in tune with what the missionaries taught.
“Further, he felt that the message of election, damnation and salvation was incompatible with the teaching of Jesus he found in the Gospels.”
“Singh read the Sermons by William Ellery Channing and was especially impressed with Channing’s “Unitarian Christianity Most Favorable to Piety” and quickly recognized his affinity with the Unitarian faith and principles.
