Right Rev. Dr. Terry Brown

“Malaita, Solomon Islands: A Survey of Religious Movements”

Friday, May 20, 2011
3:00 - 4:00 pm
Room 276 in the Geisel Library building

Refreshments will be served.
No RSVP is necessary.

Free and open to the public

Although the languages and cultures of Malaita share a high degree of unity, the island’s religious life is fractured and fractious: Schisms, consolidations, political aspirations, and divides between urban and rural practices are all part of the Malaitan religious landscape.

Dr. Brown, who served from 1996 to 2008 as the Bishop of Malaita, Anglican Church of Melanesia, will present a summary of his research on the complex religious movements and groups on Malaita, along with a discussion on the wide variety of typologies employed in his work.
