From the Solomon Islands-The call by some Anglicans for the Church of Melanesia to rethink the appointment of an Anglican Priest from Banks & Torres to the post of Mission Secretary of the Church must not be carpeted but ought to be dealt with seriously.
The priest’s history are obvious both in New Zealand and Solomon Islands. How fitting is it for the Council of Bishops and the Melanesian Board of Mission to equate such personalities to the church’s highest mission agency?
With this call the Church of Melanesia needs to be really cautious about the kind of persons and personalities it takes on board to head its various mission departments and pastoral activities within its entire structure.
The message is simple and straightforward. If a clergy or bishop who has some histories of immoralities, misconducts, irresponsible leadership, poor pastoral administration and incompetence in some stages of his ministry, he has to be refused from taking up any forms of leadership appointment within the church.
There is nothing like second and third chances for leaders who messed up their own lives.
