  • Emergency Appeal for Papua New Guinea launched

    9 March 2018

    Anglican Missions has just launched an Emergency Appeal to support response and recovery efforts following the devastating 7.5 magnitude earthquake that hit the Highlands region of Papua New Guinea on 26 February. Given the severity of the earthquake, the number of fatalities, the fact that recovery and rebuilding will take years, the central role the church plays in PNG in responding to natural disasters and the strong history and level of partnership between the Anglican Church of PNG and the Anglican Church of Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia, we commend this Appeal to you. We will work closely with ABM (Australia) and the Anglican Alliance to help ensure a collaborative and coordinated Anglican response and will provide updates via this website. more»
