Tourism is the largest foreign-exchange earner and clothing exports grew rapidly from the late 1980s. Other significant activities are gold- mining, fishing and timber production.

    APRIL 2020 | ISSUE NO. 3 NA BULAGO MAI NA KORO FROM THE BISHOP OF POLYNESIA ANGLICAN DIOCESE OF POLYNESIA What's inside this issue: COVID 19 Pandemic Virus Mission & Outreach Schools: Developments Primates' Meeting Lotu Youth Mission Community House of Sarah Archbishop of York Visit Diocesan Thanksgiving Celebration Standing Committee Appointments Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ and Co-workers! Ni sa bula vinaka, Malo 'e lelei, Fafetai lava, Namaste and Greetings in the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ. These past few weeks gone by have been quite a journey as the world comes to terms with the COVID 19 Coronavirus pandemic. As of April, Fiji has confirmed 5 COVID-19 cases, New Zealand with 1 recorded death due to COVID-19, and Tonga, Samoa and American Samoa although with nil cases, but joining the rest of the world in lockdown, it is important that our churches have obediently taken immediate action to ensure the safety of all people and to act as an example during the difficult months ahead. We acknowledge that some churches took pro-active measures two weeks ago to limit human to human contact within worship services and especially around the distribution of the Eucharist. For this we must be thankful for the wisdom shown by these churches, encourage them to continue and urge other faith communities to join the movement with their own preventive measures. In the midst of this, here we find an opportune time for the church to review its role as God’s hands in society by ministering to, providing and caring for the poor, sick and the aged – those most at risk from COVID-19.
