Photographs from the visit of the Archbishop of Canterbury to the Church
of the Province of Melanesia - 1

The Most Revd Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, has
concluded his tour of the Church of the Province of Melanesia. The
eight-day visit to the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu covered six of the
eight Anglican dioceses in the archipelago. The Archbishop also spent
time with the Melanesian Brotherhood and paid his respects at the graves
of the seven members of the brotherhood who were martyred last year in
inter-communal violence.

The visit was at the invitation of the Primate of the Province, the Most
Revd Sir Ellison Pogo KBE, Archbishop of Melanesia. It represented the
first visit of an Archbishop of Canterbury to Vanuatu. Dr Williams spent
time with communities and congregations of the 250,000-member Anglican
Province as well as with church and civic leaders. The photographs that
follow cover all aspects of the visit.
