Melanesian Institute for Pastoral & Socio-Economic Service

The Melanesian Institute (MI) was established in 1971 as an ecumenical research and teaching institute, designed to help member churches speak more clearly to the needs of the people in Melanesia. This is accomplished through the study of Melanesian cultural traditions, the dissemination of research materials at the Institute's annual cultural orientation course, workshops and seminars and through its publications.
