Talk:Anglican Church of Papua New Guinea

Uniform format proposal

A proposal is being floated at the project page that there be a standard format for organising each article about national provinces of the Anglican Communion, including this one. Please consider participating in the straw vote and discussion. Cheers! Fishhead64 21:55, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Personal Ordinariate

Apart from the Traditional Anglican Communion, the article should really consider verifying whether groups within the Anglican Church of Papua New Guinea have ever sought a similar canonical structure to the proposed personal ordinariates. ADM (talk) 18:08, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Anglican realignment denomination

The Anglican Church of Papua New Guinea has been involved in the Anglican realignment movement and has been present at the Global South (Anglican) meetings. These sources demonstrate that: [1] This letter is signed by Joseph Kopapa, the Primate of the ACPNG, among 16 representatives of Anglican church bodies. This also shows that the ACPNG was represented at the Global South (Anglican) meeting, in Bangkok, Thailand, at 20 July 2012: [2].Mistico (talk) 13:03, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

No evidence has been provided that the Global South group is part of the Anglican realignment movement. In fact your only source indicates just the opposite - that the Global South group is still committed to the Anglican Communion under the Archbishop of Canterbury.

I thought that the Anglican realignment movement was in opposition to the Episcopal Church in the United States and to a less degree the Anglican Church of Canada due to their stances on homosexuality, not in rejection to the Church of England or the Archbishop of Canterbury. This document I provided its still signed by several of the Anglican realignment leaders, like the Archbishops of Nigeria, Uganda, Tanzania, who are part of the Global South (Anglican) and also express their support for the alternative denomination now existing, the Anglican Church in North America: "6. We note with great sadness the passing of Resolution A049 at the 77th General Convention of The Episcopal Church which authorized a liturgy for blessing same-sex unions. This action confirms our disappointment that The Episcopal Church has no regard for the concerns and convictions of the vast majority of Anglicans worldwide./ 7. We stand in solidarity with our brethren in the Communion Partners who have dissented from this action. We uphold them in prayer and support them in fellowship as they continue in their commitment to the evangelical faith and catholic order of the Church, as expressed in their Minority Report known as The Indianapolis Statement./ 8. We also appreciate and support all the faithful in Anglican Church in North America (ACNA) as well as those in the Anglican Church in Canada who remain true to our biblical and historic faith./ 9. We deeply respect and appreciate our historical and spiritual relationship with the See of Canterbury. We have written to the Crown Nominations Commission with concerns from the Global South and important principles for consideration as it nominates candidates for the appointment of a new Archbishop of Canterbury."

I will email the Global South (Anglican) and the GAFCON official websites to see if they clarify these questions. This article by J. I Packer, I think makes the exactly conexion between the Global South (Anglican) and the GAFCON: [4]. How many of their churches are not in communion anymore with the Episcopal Church of the United States? They are deeply conected, in a way or another.Mistico (talk) 14:19, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

The point is that while some of the Global South member churches may be supporting aspects of Anglican realignment you have not provided any evidence that most of them do so - in particular you haven't provided any evidence so far that the PNG or Melanesian churches support this. You seem to be making the assumption that all Global South churches are agreed on realignment issues. Anglicanus (talk) 19:30, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

Also, even they are supportive of such realignment in North America it doesn't mean they are somehow involved in it. Anglicanus (talk) 19:43, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

You have a point there. In relation to Anglican realignment, we can see that the Anglican Churches of Nigeria, Uganda and Sudan are currently in full communion with the Anglican Church in North America, but not anymore with the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Church of Canada. Other churches, like Rwanda, Kenya, Tanzania and West Africa are also supportive of the ACNA, while not yet in full communion. I guess if someone could provide a RS about the direct involvement of the Churches of Papua New Guinea and Melanesia in the GAFCON, the Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans and similar movements, they could be added to that category.Mistico (talk) 20:08, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
