Considering Rearrangement of Anglican Spheres
A CONFERENCE of Anglican Bishops from the South Pacific area opened in Sydney on May 22.
Object of the conference was to con sider mission problems in the Pacific generally. Matters affecting native wel fare, labour conditions in the various Pacific Territories and native education were dealt with, and much consideration was given to the rearrangement of boundaries of the dioceses of New Guinea and Melanesia.
The conference felt that future mission policy would to a large extent depend on the outcome of UNCIO, and many ques tions were deferred until UNCIO pub lished its report.
Delegates included the Bishops of Mela nesia, New Guinea, Polynesia, the Arch bishop of New Zealand, and Bishop Cranswick, of the Australian Board of Missions. (See Cover.)
