The Anglican Diocese of Poly nesia, covering a greater area than any other diocese in the world, requires missionaries and mission workers with some rather unusual qualifications.
They are, according to a recent diocese publication in Suva: Ability to mix with people, mix concrete, wade rivers, write articles, love one’s neighbour, deliver babies, sit crosslegged, conduct meetings, drain swamps, digest questionable dishes, patch tyres, patch human weaknesses, suffer fools gladly and burn midnight oil.
And there are certain classes who should not apply, or who should think twice before sending their names in. They are: Persons allergic to ants, babies, beggars, chop suey, cockroaches, curried crabs, duplicators, guitars, humidity, indifference, itches, jungles, mildew, minority groups, mud, open boats, poverty, sweat, twisting, and unmarried mothers.
