Information About

Anglican Church Of Papua New Guinea




Historically the Anglican mission was not well funded and it did not compare favourably with other denominations in terms of health and education services. Although it was historically part of the ecclesiastical province of Brisbane , today its overseas support appears to be substantially from England, notably by the Papua New Guinea Church Partnership , formerly the New Guinea Mission .

In Anglican terminology the New Guinea Martyrs were eight Anglican Clergy , Teacher s and medical Missionaries killed by the Japan ese in 1942, although 333 church workers of various denominations, the largest number Roman Catholic , were killed.

The churchmanship is Anglo-Catholic ; the Anglican Church participates in the Melanesian Council Of Churches and maintains especially close ties with the Evangelical Lutheran and Roman Catholic Churches.
