  • Partnership in the Gospel
    Partnership in the Gospel A Report based on the Vision of the Archbishop of Melanesia On Sunday 17 April 2016 more than 4000 people gathered at St Barnabas Cathedral Honiara in the Solomon Islands to witness the enthronement of Archbishop George Takeli as the sixth Archbishop of Anglican Church of Melanesia. It was at this enthronement that he set out his vision for the future of the church of Melanesia. In the last 18 months he has been working to establish many of those ideas. I want in this report to reflect upon the key messages of that vision which Archbishop George Takeli has set out and the Church of Melanesia has begun trying to live out and implement. “God is always present with us.” Melanesian culture is pervaded by the realisation of the presence of God in all things. It is a culture immediately dependent on the land and sea to sustain the life of its people. When storms and cyclone come, as we have seen they often do, we have constantly seen how vulnerable these low-lying islands are, made still more vulnerable by climate change. We also see the resilience and courage of the people both in Solomon Islands and Vanuatu as they rebuild their lives after floods and cyclones and when forced to move whole villages and abandon islands due to rising sea levels. In our partnership with the Church of Melanesia we have much to learn from this closeness to creation- for we abandon our own stewardship of creation at our peril. But we also have much to learn about the presence of God in our daily lives- the gifts of God revealed in the food we eat, the water we drink, our homes providing shelter from the elements, the air we breathe and the many gifts of God we take for granted.

  • Message From·The Archbishop of Melanesia to The
    MESSAGE FROM · THE ARCHBISHOP OF MELANESIA TO THE PROVINCE To all God's People in Melanesia : - We as the Independent Church of Melanesia have a great responsibility ahead of us. We all have a duty to do for God's Church and the Country. Soon our Country will become independent and everybody is expected to contri­ bute something. What is our contribution t o the Country? 1. The C.O.M. has inherited a goodly tradition from the past, both the Anglican tradition and our own Melanesian tradition. We must combine the two in order to give strength and meaning to our worship. 2. We must thank our Founders, Bishops Selwyn and Patteson and the great men and women of tbe past, especially our first Archbishop for planning and preparing our Church to be:.ome a Province. Each one of us must be willing to work hard, work together and believe in God for what He wants His Church to be in the future. J. The many changes that have come to our Islands have caused confusion and doubts in the minds of some of our people. They ar~ involved in many different kinds of work and activities which are very good, but as a re­ sult these involvements weaken the work of the Church in some parts. What we need today, more than ever is the awakening or developing of the spiritual life of our People, and the training of our people to have a right attitude to life and work~ Also to have a better understanding and relationship with each othero 4.

BACH Hymn 225, Salve festa dies 1 Almighty God, to you all hearts are open, all desires known, and from you no secrets are hid: Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you, and worthily magnify your holy Name; through Christ our Lord. Amen. Hymnal S-278, Gloria in excelsis, W. Matthias 2 Celebrant The Lord be with you. People And also with you. Celebrant Let us pray. Almighty God, on this day you opened the way of eternal life to every race and nation by the promised gift of your Holy Spirit: Shed abroad this gift throughout the world by the preaching of the Gospel, that it may reach to the ends of the earth; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. Lesson: Acts 2:1-21 When the day of Pentecost had come, the disciples were all together in one place. And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability. Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven living in Jerusalem.

  • Using Transnational Advocacy Networks to Challenge Restrictions on Religion: Christian Minorities in Malaysia and India
    Using Transnational Advocacy Networks to Challenge Restrictions on Religion: Christian Minorities in Malaysia and India A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Political Science of the College of Arts and Sciences by Kristina M. Teater M.A. Wright State University B.A. Milligan College July 2019 Committee Chair: Laura Dudley Jenkins, Ph.D. ii Abstract State-imposed restrictions on religious freedom challenge the rights of minorities. While some minorities live in authoritarian regimes, others live in countries with religious rights institutionalized in national constitutions and international human rights treaties. Despite these guarantees, minorities face restrictions on religion through laws and regulations that restrict what religion they choose and limit how they practice their faith. Thus minorities that in theory are supposed to have religious freedom also encounter religious freedom restrictions in practice. Faced with blockages that restrict their religious rights, minorities at times turn to transnational advocacy networks (TANs). Through my analysis of Christian minorities in Malaysia and India, I discover what some of these blockages are and how minorities and their transnational partners have negotiated with the state in recent legal challenges to Christians’ rights. I focus on the agency and strategies of minorities by listening to their opinions, arguments, and reasoning, as articulated through interviews, legal documents, and an original survey. In doing so, this study differs from recent scholarship that traces the structure and organization of TANs. I find that how Christian minorities use transnational advocacy networks is dependent on the political opportunities that are available to them domestically.
