From the Solomons



From Zephaniah Legumana, Presiding Bishop of the Solomons and Pacific Basin

Dear Clergy, Catechists, Chiefs, Mothers and good people of AOC Isabel and Honiara Parishes

Re-AOC Mission to Bimbir, Santa Cruz, Temotu Province:

I wish to inform you all that our Mission to Ordain Rev Wilson Menoia to the Order of Priests in AOC and the establishment of AOC in Santa Cruz, Temotu Province has been very successful.

Like what we have already experienced in the past (in Isabel), it was normal that we have met some negative reactions to disrupt the occasion but they did not prevail and the Ordination continue to take place according to plan ie Pentecost Sunday 19th May 2013.

We Ordain in a tent Church house built some distant from Bimbir village (as the final resort), to avoid any disturbances during the onset of the ordination as well as to become the new site and land area for the new church building. The AOC members should then build up their own village community whereby they will be free to carry out their ministry with their Priest Rev Wilson Menoia in the future.

Those of us who went as mission group have played our part successfully despite tense atmosphere around us. Rev Richard Sopamana trained Rev Wilson Menoia on the Eucharist and other roles of a priest, I teach (explaining and interpreting) him the ordinal and constitution and canons of the church, My wife and Lillian Vahia had meeting with the women and elected office bearers and identified 8 new members for admission into Mothers Fellowship group.

On Pentecost Sunday 19th May 2013 we ordained Rev Wilson Menoia to the Order of Priests in AOC as well as confirming 3 children.

There was a large congregation attending the Ordination, estimated to be 100 plus people including children.

After the ordination there was a big feast which everyone enjoyed. In addition greetings and speeches (including from Bishop Jerry Ogles and Betty) became highlights during the occasion.

Finally, and above all, wish to thank you for your prayer support for without which we could not have achieved the success of this mission.
Bishop Z
