Abstract

"Therefore in this paper the relationship of Church and State in the Solomon Islands will be discussed, both historically, in the present context, and with a view to future involvement of the churches in governance. The role and position of the Anglican Church of Melanesia (ACOM) of which both authors are ministers is especially relevant as it is the largest church in the Solomon Islands, and is the majority denomination in Isabel, Central and Temotu Provinces, with substantial minorities in the other provinces. Therefore observations about the Anglican Church, even where they are not applicable to other denominations, nevertheless have a broad application in Solomon Islands ..." - page 2
