The first Papuan or New Guinean to make a life profession in the Anglican Society of St. Francis will take his final vows in September.
He is Brother Philip, a Papuan from the Mamba district, and a teacher at the St. Francis School, Koki, in Port Moresby.
The Primate of Australia, the Most Rev. Philip Strong, will go to the territory specially to take the service, which will be held at the Franciscan friary near Popondetta.
Brother Philip was doing a teacher’s course at Dogura, the Anglican cathedral station in the Milne Bay District, when he heard a Franciscan friar talking about life in the society.
