Voihavo Matena na Hahani Tabu (1950). This translation of portions of the Book of Common Prayer into Vaturanga is now available online.
Vaturanga is spoken on northwestern Guadalcanal, where it serves as an important

Worth Noting
What is the Standing Committee?: 'What powers does it have?
When does it meet? Who are the current members? How are they elected? I have heard it said that some churches get more votes than others.
Why is that? What kinds of things are regularly on the agenda of the Standing Committee? How does the Anglican Communion Office staff
relate to the Committee? Who has the power to appoint any replacements? What will the Standing Committee be doing this week?' Who knew?

Why
I won't pay for St Paul's: Theo Hobson writes for guardian.co.uk on entrance fees and churches. 'My reluctance to pay is not
really a matter of meanness, but of principle. By excluding people, especially young people who are often time-rich but money-poor,
and spiritually curious, the C of E is edging them away from a sense that England's religious heritage is theirs – that it
is not just for tourists, and not just for worshippers at actual services; it is also theirs to browse.' |
