The Namoli Framework, “Steering the Vaka of Hermeneutics in Oceania” is the name of the document drawn up at the meeting held in Fiji “Rethinking the Journey and Course of our Hermeneutics in Oceania”. It was attended by 82 people representing 24 member churches of the Pacific Council of Churches and 15 members of the South Pacific Association of Theological Colleges.
The primary purpose of this document is to inform the member churches of the Pacific Conference of Churches and the Pacific Theological College, and the member schools of the South Pacific Association of Theological Schools, of the results of a week long deliberation on the theme “Rethinking the Journey and Course of our Hermeneutics in Oceania”. The second purpose is to set a platform for collective hermeneutical talanoa and reflections with the understanding that it is incomplete.
The consultation met in the village of Namoli, Lautoka, Fiji from the 13 – 18 of March 2011.
