Anglican Mission

Diamond Jubilee of Anglican Mission

ON August 11, 1891—60 years ago —Rev. Albert Maclaren and Rev. Copland King, landed at Bartle Bay, Dogura, North-east Papua, and established the New Guinea Mission of the Church of England.

The Mission has had more than half a century of growth and highly successful work; and today it has a Bishop (Right Rev. P. N. Strong) in charge of the organisation there, and the beautiful cathedral of St.

Peter and St. Paul was recently built by Papuans. Much was de stroyed in the war, and valuable European and native personnel were lost; but the organisation has all been completely re-established, and the work of education and health goes on.
