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 i

Abstract:
Summary This paper speculates about the possible existence of Pidgin English toponyms on the Melanesian Mission on Norfolk Island. The argument considers why modern historians and linguists studying the social and linguistic history of the Melanesian Mission missionaries, and why missionaries from earlier periods, who were documenting and studying local Melanesian languages spoken within the Mission’s activities, did not provide possible available information on Pidgin English toponyms. This noted absence of an explicit focus on the toponymic lexicon of Pidgin English and other marginalised la

Abstract:
For three months in 1906, John Watt Beattie, the noted Australian photographer – at the invitation of the Anglican Bishop of Melanesia, Cecil Wilson – travelling on the church vessel the Southern Cross, photographed people and sites associated with the Melanesian Mission on Norfolk Island and present-day Vanuatu and Solomon Islands. Beattie reproduced many of the 1500-plus photographs from that trip, which he sold in various formats from his photographic studio in Hobart, Tasmania. The photographs constitute a priceless collection of Pacific images that began to be used very quickly in a varie

Abstract:
This article deals with culture and cross-cultural communication. More specifically, the concept of mana in the Melanesian worldview plays a significant role in that culture. I will discuss various approaches to cross-cultural communication of the gospel that have been and continue to be used in Papua New Guinea and suggest some reasons why they have come up short. I suggest that the much-neglected field of elenctics must be utilized more and provide ways that this can be done in the context of mana and the Melanesian worldview.

Abstract:
George Sarawia was ordained in 1873 as the first Melanesian Anglican priest. This article presents preliminary research findings concerning the various constructs of masculinity deployed by Sarawia, his indigenous community, and the mission. A high-ranking member of the indigenous men's society, and part of an extended family, Sarawaia integrated Christian concepts of brotherhood and fatherhood with controversial results. Some of his fellow missionaries accused him of leading his people more as an indigenous big-man than as a priest. The article contends that the career of George Sarawia revea

Abstract This essay analyzes Christian witness, applying a post-colonial lens to Drusilla Modjeska’s The Mountain to account for conversion and transformation in Papua New Guinea. A hapkas (half-caste) Christology of indigenous agency, communal transformation and hybridity is examined in dialogue with New Testament themes of genealogy, redemption as gift and Jesus as the new Adam. Jesus as “good man true” is placed in critical dialogue with masculine identity tropes in Melanesian anthropology. Jesus as ancestor gift of Canaanite descent is located in relation to scholarship that respects indig

This dissertation examines the ways in which a Papua New Guinean people, the Maisin of Collingwood Bay in Oro Province, have over the years responded to and appropriated a version of Christianity brought to them by Anglican missionaries. The Maisin treat Christianity not as a foreign imposition, but as an integral part of their total religious conceptions, activities and experiences. Almost a century of documented Maisin history reveals a consistency related to what is here called a "social ideology": a complex formed by idioms of asymmetry between senior and junior kin and allies, equivalenc

Abstract The large island variously known to the outside world (the insiders had no name for it) as New Guinea (its coast and people apparently like those of Guinea in Africa) or Papua (the land of the fuzzy-haired people) has held a fascination for Europeans for over three hundred years. In the past hundred years or more-see, for example, reference to the Papuan Mission in Trollope (1861)-there has been continuous and slowly progressive contact between the outside world and the people of the large island as well as the inhabitants of the many other smaller islands of Melanesia; the people of

Abstract:
Abstract Archaeological traditions in Australia and New Guinea have taken quite different theoretical pathways. Melanesian archaeology emphasizes dynamic historical processes of internally derived change in ‘agricultural’ societies. In contrast, Australian archaeology has historically emphasized ecological models of stable ‘hunter-gatherer’ societies. This chapter revisits this division in comparing the emergence of mission archaeology in the two regions. Mission archaeology in Australia is well developed and multifaceted, maturing out of earlier settler colonial narratives of rupture between

Abstract:
This chapter traces a number of different trajectories whereby a religion emanating from Western societies became, in the course of the twentieth century, a faith rooted in the soil of West African or Melanesian societies. Catholic missions before Vatican II were fearful of unleashing the vernacular Bible on the laity and relied instead on a tightly controlled network of schools to grow a Christian community from childhood upwards. Conversion came not through sudden movements of indigenous revival and initiative, but through the steady growth in the numbers of school rolls and hence of the bap

Adventists quickly established a presence in Australia and New Zealand that now provides a base for mission in the wider Pacific. Polynesia and Melanesia, however, presented considerable challenges to Adventist missionaries. A failure to adequately contextualize and adapt strategies of mission was a significant factor in the slow progress of Adventism in Polynesia. Much faster membership growth occurred in Melanesia, where schools became the opening wedge for

Abstract Most of the earliest European settlers in Papua New Guinea were missionaries and for many indigenous villagers even up to the present time, the most enduring and intensive links with European culture have been mediated by proselytizing Christians. The latter were by no means exclusively white; indeed, many early missionaries were Polynesians and, later, Melanesians from the more heavily Christianized areas. But whether or not the carriers of these diverse ‘Christianities’ were themselves ethnically European, the mode of religious transmission they established was fundamentally alien t
