Oceania / The  Pacific

The Pacific is caught between being a vast area of the world's surface and having a relatively small population. The "Pacific Rim" is economically powerful and its cultural and religious history is well known. The history of Christianity in the Pacific itself is a story that needs to be better known, and studies by those living within the Pacific better available. It is too easy to get the feeling that the Pacific is most frequently noted when the studies are by those from outside the Pacific itself. Those studies are  valuable, but there is a need for the Pacific to be seen as a place which is missiologically interesting in its own right. Their own citizens - of a range of ethnic origins - have themselves something significant to say about their own experience, cultures and history. Partnership through the fellowship of IAMS is one way of helping create this dialogue.
