Nagaland, India: American Baptist missionaries arrived in the Naga hills around 1850. Today among the different Naga tribes, Baptist Christians are a majority. However, Naga persons have a strong identification with their tribes and languages. Thus, each tribe has its own Baptist church. Today's images have the churches of Sumi, Chakhesang and Yimchungru tribes.

Ciò nonostante, le persone Naga si identificano fortemente con le proprie tribù e le loro lingue. Per cui ogni tribù ha sua chiesa battista. Le immagini di oggi hanno le chiese delle tribù Sumi, Chakhesang e Yimchungru.
