Rowan Williams, archevêque de Canterbury et chef de l’Église anglicane, a entamé ce week-end une visite officielle de cinq jours en Papouasie-Nouvelle-Guinée, en compagnie de son épouse Jane Williams, rapporte la radio nationale. Au cours de ce périple papou, ce dirigeant religieux devrait rencontrer les plus hautes autorités de l’État, dont le Gouverneur Général (représentant local de la Reine Elizabeth II d’Angleterre).
Il devrait aussi inaugurer un nouveau centre de formation des enseignants anglicans et visiter le centre d’action caritative de cette église, AngliCare, à Port-Moresby.
Dans ce pays de plus de sept millions d’habitants, la religion anglicane rassemble un nombre relativement faible d’adeptes (environ 3,2 pour cent des Chrétiens).
