Where is the church?

The people of PNG are facing more and more injustice. It is reported in media every week that there is misappropriation, money goes missing, the parliament’s law making process is flawed and the list goes on. One cannot imagine the magnitude of corruption in the country. One would think that the churches should play a role in ensuring justice prevails. But the situation is made more complicated when we see that the churches are also part of creating injustice. Most of the churches in the country are getting money from multinational corporations operating in the country. These multinational corporations are mining, logging, commercial fishing, agro forestry projects and so forth. While those churches are benefiting, the masses on the ground are always being suppressed, undermined and marginalized by logging, fishing, mining and other agro forestry projects. Most people say and think we are a Christian country by I doubt it especially in seeing what’s unfolding before our eyes.
