The Roles of Melanesians in the Development of the Church in Melanesia 1925 -1975 THE ROLES OF MELANESIANS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CHURCH IN MELANESIA 1925 -1975 Submitted by ATKIN ZAKU Dip of Theology, Bachelor of Theology, Master of Theology A THESIS SUBMITTED IN TOTAL FULFILMENT OF THE RQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY FACULTY OF THEOLOGY AND PHILOSOPHY AUSTRALIAN CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY 2I JANUARY 2013 i Statement of Authorship and Sources This thesis contains no material published elsewhere or extracted in whole or in part from a thesis by which I have qualified for or been awarded of any other degree or diploma. No parts of this thesis have been submitted towards the award of any other degree or diploma in any other tertiary institution. No other person’s work has been used without due acknowledgement in the main text of the thesis. Name: Date: ii Acknowledgements This thesis is the work of many invaluable contributions from many people and organisations. Without them, it would have been impossible to undertake and complete this study. With the understanding of the impossibility of mentioning everyone by name, I would first of all like to thank everyone who contributed in one way or another, big or small in the final completion of this piece of work. However having said this, I would still like to make special mention of the following. Thanks to my supervisors, Associate Professor Gerard Hall, who was my principal supervisor, Professor James McLaren and Dr. Stefano Girola, my co-supervisors. Their advice and supervision was not only academically professional, but pastoral and spiritually caring. It was a privilege and an honour to work with them. Our relationships grew during the years of my study and they remain heroes in my life. God provided these great teachers who allowed themselves to be part of my academic journey. I am very thankful and grateful to God. Thanks to the Anglican Church of Melanesia which confidently provided me the scholarship. This was a scholarship given in trust, confidence and prayers. I am thankful for the opportunity. I achieved with humility the assignment that the Anglican Church and people of Melanesia confidently entrusted to me. God has always been in the forefront of the journey. Whilst on the church, I would also like to thank parishioners of St. Oswald Anglican Church in Banyo, who shared their spirituality with me. Thanks to the Melanesian Anglican families in Brisbane, who often invited us into their many programs. I would like to make special mention of Berralld, Barbara and Neilmoshe who greatly supported me and my family, making our stay in Brisbane comfortable and homely. They have become part of my family. Finally, thanks to my dear wife Jenny and Dalmina, my granddaughter, who directly shared with me all the challenges and pains while undertaking this study. It was not easy of course to live with someone who had less time in the sitting room than in the study. Your sacrifice and patience were invaluable contributions. Along with Jenny and Dalmina, I thank my daughter Lupa, who saw fit to sacrifice her overseas scholarship and accept a local scholarship, lessening the financial burden of the church. I would also like to thank my daughter Sese and son Steve, of course with his family, who supported me in small ways, especially during my research in the Solomon Islands. Lastly, but not least, for members of my extended famiIy who always were a strong support - I thank you so much. Thank you God Thank you Melanesia Thank you Australian Catholic University. iii Table of Contents ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ....................................................................................................................................

I have to confess that my experience over twenty years of ordained ministry has changed my thinking on the value of the building and made me question the ‘rain shelter’ view. God clearly has a sense of humour for if you had told me at the age of 16 that 40 years later I would be the rector of an Anglican parish with two heritage church buildings complete with stained glass, crosses, candles and liturgical colours I would have been incredulous. So how should we regard our church buildings? To me they function somewhat like the sacraments. They are visible reminders of a spiritual reality, namely the gathered Christian community. For those on the outside, the Church building bears witness to the fact that the people who meet there take God seriously.

  • Additional Weekday Lectionary and Amendments to Calendar, Lectionary and Collects
    GS 1724 Not authorized for liturgical use (except in accordance with any designation under Canon B 5A) Additional Weekday Lectionary and Amendments to Calendar, Lectionary and Collects Report by the Liturgical Commission INTRODUCTION 1. The Texts for Authorization attached to this report fall into three distinct parts: (I) The Additional Weekday Lectionary (II) Minor amendments to the Common Worship Calendar (with a consequential amendment to a Collect and Post Communion) (III) Minor corrections to the Common Worship Lectionaries. This covering report offers an explanation of each of these elements in turn. I: ADDITIONAL WEEKDAY LECTIONARY Background 2. The provisional Weekday Lectionary which was authorized in 2000 included (in addition to the Daily Eucharistic Lectionary) two office lectionaries which were unrelated to each other. The Office Lectionary, commonly used at Morning Prayer, provided readings that were generally in sequence, while the Second Office Lectionary, commonly used at Evening Prayer, aimed to offer two readings which were complete in themselves and would therefore make sense to a congregation which had not heard the previous day’s readings. Because these readings were intended to ‘stand alone’, the Second Office Lectionary was colloquially known as a ‘pillar lectionary’. 3. The 2000 Weekday Lectionary was authorized on a temporary basis with a view to revision in the light of experience of its use. In fact, there was general dissatisfaction with it and the Liturgical Commission therefore decided to propose a complete replacement, rather than a revision. The ‘pillar lectionary’ in particular was widely criticized. Many people wanted to use a ‘continuous’ lectionary at both offices, and the current Weekday Lectionary which received Final Approval in February 2005 therefore provides for ‘continuous’ reading of Scripture at both Morning and Evening Prayer.

  • The Melanesian Mission, 1877–1909
    4 The Melanesian Mission, 1877–1909 The heathen are always threatening us; they come with their bows and arrows again and again, and say they will kill us all and bury the school, but it is mostly words; they say they want three lives, Johnson’s, mine, and John’s (these are the three teachers). We do not go to meet them with arms, Mr. Comins has told us to seek peace with them, so we give them food and goods, and we try not to get angry with them. —Luke Masuraa, Aulu, 18961 Introduction Christianity, labour and government are three of the major influences that shaped modern Malaita before the 1940s. The fourth is an ability to be practical and incorporate change. There is nothing unique in the combination of the first three elements, which were major causes of change in many Pacific Islands societies. Yet virtually no other island experienced the same intensity of labour recruiting or had the strong link with Christian missions in Queensland. As we have seen, many early Malaitan Christians adopted their new spiritual beliefs while working on overseas plantations and attending denominational missions, the strongest links being with the QKM-SSEM and the Anglicans. This chapter further develops themes raised in the last, with a concentration 1 Quoted in the Ballarat Churchman and reproduced in OPMM, Mar 1896, 200. 183 MAKING MALA on the Anglican’s Melanesian Mission. David Lawrence, writing about the BSIP’s first resident commissioner, Charles Woodford, provides a neat summary of the interactions between the different European groups and local people: Missionaries saw themselves as pursuing a political agenda that filled the gap between fervent British colonialism and neutrality.

  • Not English, but Anglican’
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-00866-2 - A History of Global Anglicanism Kevin Ward Excerpt More information chapter 1 Introduction: ‘not English, but Anglican’ The Anglican communion describes itself as a ‘fellowship’ or ‘commu- nion’ of autonomous Christian churches, united by a common history, confessing a common faith and (traditionally) a common liturgy. There are thirty-eight distinct and independent Anglican churches or ‘pro- vinces’, existing in a particular country or spread over a number of countries. Provinces vary in size from the big churches such as the Church of England (26 million baptised members), the Church of Nigeria (17.5 million), the Church of Uganda (8 million) and the Episcopal Church of Sudan (5 million) to the tiny communities of the Southern Cone of America (22,490), Mexico (21,000), the Anglican Church of Korea (14,558) and the Episcopal Church in Jerusalem and the Middle East 1 (10,000). This book is an attempt to write a history of the Anglican communion from its inception as a worldwide faith, at the time of the Reformation, to the present day. While it does not ignore the contribution of the Church of England or of those of British extraction who have established Anglican churches in other parts of the world, its emphasis is on the activity of the indigenous peoples of Asia and Africa, Oceania and America in creating and shaping the Anglican communion. In the British Isles, attention is paid to Welsh, Irish and Scottish contributions, not least because they played a disproportionate part in the establishment of Anglican churches in other parts of the world, both as colonists and as missionaries.

  • The Martyrs of Melanesia
    International Journal of Arts and Social Science www.ijassjournal.com ISSN: 2581-7922, Volume 3 Issue 4, July-August 2020 The Martyrs of Melanesia Dr. James W. Ellis College of Arts and Sciences, Case Western Reserve University, USA. ABSTRACT:Melanesia is a region in the southwestern Pacific Ocean that includes the New Hebrides (Vanuatu), the Solomon Islands, New Caledonia, and New Guinea. The nineteenth century Christian missions to Melanesia were one of history’s great cross-cultural encounters. This essay tells the stories of approximately a dozen people who lost their lives violently while serving as Melanesian missionaries. They were casualties in a religious struggle that radically altered Melanesian societies.In 1800, there were virtually no indigenous Melanesian Christians, but today the vast majority of Melanesians identify as Christian. Unfortunately, the collective position of the Melanesian martyrswithin this critical historical transformation has received little scholarly attention. Perhaps this preliminary study will foster more research, of greater breadth and depth, increasing our understanding of the martyrs of Melanesia. KEYWORDS –Catholic, Christian,martyr, Melanesia, mission, Protestant I. INTRODUCTION Social and political scientists organize the Pacific Islands into three major ethno-geographic groups: Polynesia, Micronesia, and Melanesia (Fig. 1). Melanesia is a region in the southwestern Pacific that includes Fiji, Vanuatu (once known as the New Hebrides), the Solomon Islands, New Caledonia, and New Guinea. Polynesians were the first to chart the Melanesia islands, followed by Spanish explorers in the latter sixteenth century. The early Spanish ships brought Catholic missionaries. Between 1750 and 1900, various western powers including Britain colonized much of Melanesia and introduced Protestant Christianity.
