| | Fr Henry Paroi - How Do We Identify Melanesian Christians? |
 | | We cannot deny the fact that we are Melanesians, and on top of that we are Christians. | | | Most of the ideas that I have used have been the result of my reading of various articles and books that are available to us and also from other people to whom I have spoken. | | | No one can deny the fact that the people of Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands are very religious people. |

| | Traditional religion in Melanesia & Melanesian gods - Papua New Guinea books & papers - www.pngbuai.com |
| | At times people have wondered how it was possible that Christianity caught on so well in Melanesia, so that - according to the latest census in Papua New Guinea - over 96 percent of the people profess now to be Christians, and that this fact is even enshrined in the state's national constitution. | | | As a consequence, we believe, even the New Testament can be better understood when seen against the backdrop of traditional religion - as perceived in particular in the well known "Cargo cults" or "new religious movements" which occurred in the last decennia (3). | | | Instead of merely concentrating on the old search for monotheism, I would think that there were many religious models at hand. |
