RE-THINKING OCEANIA

Towards a region of Sufficiency and Solidarity, Inclusiveness and Participation

The rationale behind this concept is largely influenced by key trends affecting the Oceania region together with the concerns of the churches in Oceania. Fundamental to the concerns of the churches are issues surrounding the key values upon which the people of Oceania identify, converse, communicate and relate to one another.

These issues include:

Governance and leadership
Peace and security
Economic development and political reform
Cultural and social cohesion

This page contains items and articles that relate to the ideals of Re-thinking Oceania which the PCC Secretariat hopes to address in the coming weeks, months and years to come.
