Dr Robin Oge has brought out the crux of the matter; politics and christianity must be separated. PNG must not change its constitution to make it a christian country. On the onset, PNG does not qualify itself to be a christian country when there is blatant taking of human lives without remorse, ingrained beliefs in sorcery throughout PNG resulting in torture and killings and systemic corruption in all levels of governance and societies. There needs to be a new generation of people and leaders that have respect for humanity, respect for the rule of law and reverence of duty to others, then PNG can qualify to be called a christian country.

Congratulation Brotha Nellio And Dr. Michael Like to read Your Article With Your Experience🙏🤝🇹🇱

Section 45 of the constitution allows for freedom of religion. God gives us the freedom to choose to worship Him & section 45 upholds that. That is the reason why we enjoy spiritual freedom in serving & living for God in PNG. Please, let's not mess around with section 45 of the constitution to have it changed. Because if we do, the price we pay will be higher & bitter.

When the arguments surfaced as a result of the current Government's intentions on this matter I was fathomed on turning to this Section of the constitution to figure out where the issue collided on with the Goverment's initiative. I'm so glad that this article clarifies and defines it between the lines on a very high academic level. A well written piece of article.

The law under section 45 leave as it is , may add additional laws for the Government to ensure the Christian/Bible Principles teaching be taught at home, churches & schools

Well written and timely! The symptoms are common across many geographies. The article suggests "critical thinking, courage, innovation, humility and realism" are the need of the hour and also to attract the best talent.

Do amendments on Christianity in PNG in accordance with the interest of our own citizens and not outside interest.

Thank you Rebecca for all your hard work. Yes, all women in your country have a right to quality care and support during pregnancy, birth and during recovery and breastfeeding. I have so much admiration for all the work the team does for quality care.

Dr Oge you are right on point. Those so called salvation propagators must know that religion and politics never mix. We only have to learn from history to know the evils of Medievial Crusades and Inquisition ignited by the insistence of those who wanted a certain faith to become the state religion. And our fore fathers who drafted the Constitution knew that well. So lets respect them and appreciate the uniqueness of our Constitution and respect the freedom of choice of life for all citizens.

The constitution is well thought out and covers world best practises, allows us to do things the PNG way, customized to our customs and is geared for the benefit of PNG yesterday, today and tomorrow. Our biggest problem is that we inherited white man laws that were not aligned to our constitution after gaining Independence. PNG needs total REFORM of our implementation laws to align with the constitution and the organic laws. Then and only then will PNG BE TRULY TAKEN BACK in that context

Interesting article, we're all here as a team to strive to improve the quality of the maternal health care in Papua New Guinea. One team, one goal, one achievement. For the better of our country women.

That article sinks and settles many misunderstanding especially that section of the Constitution section 45. That was what I was struggling to figure out and here it is. Thanks so much for this clarity.
