The theme for the self determination event and MOU signing ceremony coinciding with Pacific forum leaders meeting in Suva is “Self-determination: The unfinished journey of the Pasifika Household”. Speakers from New Caledonia and West Papua including PCC and PTC addressed the need for the churches to support the regional self-determination movement, not just political but also economic, educational, and cultural. Also the need for a radical and new kind of theological education that deeply engages with social justice issues in a practical and communities level. The MOU singing ceremony between the Pacific Theological College and New Caledonia displayed ecumenism and regionalism, especially regarding the passion for love and inclusion for those suffering under colonial and neocolonial systems. Here are the photo highlights from the event that was held at the PTC Fale.
