THE Anglican Church of Melanesia enthroned its new Archbishop Right Reverend David Vunagi at the Saint Barnabas Cathedral in Honiara yesterday.
Senior Bishop Rt Reverend Charles Koete enthroned him in front of more five thousand Anglican Christians.
Among guests attending are Governor General Sir Nathaniel Waena, Prime Minister Dr Derek Sikua, members of the diplomatic corps and all representative clergies from the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Vanuatu and Papua New Guinea.
Speaking after his enthronement Rt Reverend David Vunagi said he feels humble for the trust vested on him, adding he will always seek God’s wisdom for help.
He said as a new leader of the church he will do his best to serve the interest of all church members in partnership with the government.
“I’m willing to work in partnership with the government because the church and the government serve the same people,” he said.
Rev Vunagi said he is glad to join and work together with all head of churches.
Rev Vunagi was elected to the highest Episcopal position within the Anglican Church by the Provincial electoral Board on March 4 at Tetete Ni Kolivuti, headquarters of the Sisters of the Church, east of Honiara.
