Western Province Government [WPG] has acknowledged contributions that Anglican Church of Melanesia [ACOM] towards religious advocacy within the province.

Speaking on behalf of WPG during Bisop Quity’s farewell dinner in Gizo, Minister of Education and Human Resources, Gordon Zebo said the Anglican community in Western Province has contributed well towards spiritual and economic development of the province.

He said ACOM’s presence in Western Province is a blessing not for Anglican followers but also for people who are in need of pastoral healing.

Zebo said ACOM has forged relationships with sister churches in Western Province and also the provincial government over the years.

“There are documents sighted that ACOM and WPG have shared vision in some areas such as education development.

“It will be a bonus for Western Province to accommodate one Anglican School to cater for students who are dropping out of schools.

“I understand that ACOM is serious in its investment in education. I saw the transformation of St Nicholas college and Selwyn College. Not only that, these school’s display high calibre discipline with good academic results,” he said.

Zebo said WPG is interested to discuss the matter and see whether the proposal will become fruitful.

He also joins others to acknowledge Bishop Quity for his services to the church.
