Subject Files 1933-1987; 1973-1985.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/48197582

The files were collected by Morris A. Sorenson, director of the Division for World Mission and Inter-Church Cooperation of The American Lutheran Church (TALC), and Duane Olson and Jack F. Reents, area secretaries. The records include correspondence with missionaries and with Bishop Zurewe Zurenuoc of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Papua New Guinea (ELC-PNG). There are files that deal with ecumenical relations between TALC or ELC-PNG and other church bodies or ecumenical groups, including the Melanesian Council of Churches. Several files deal with social and technical agencies related to the ELC-PNG, such as Lutheran Medical Service and Lutheran Technical Services. There are sections of files dealing with the Joint Committee on New Guinea (JCNG, comprised of all Lutheran groups working in Papua New Guinea) and with NAMASU (Native Marketing and Supply Services), an indigenous business company. There are also files of reports, consultations, and projects, and papers on local traditions such as cargo cult (a philosophy based upon the desire to acquire great wealth along with Christianity) and payback (a local tradition of revenge).
