One hundred and thirty years ago the Methodist Mission acquired land in a number of areas in the New Guinea Islands region for the purpose of carrying out its mission. Now the land no longer belongs to the Methodist Mission (although many of the titles are still held by the Methodist Overseas Mission), but to a fully indigenous church, the United Church in Papua New Guinea.

520 $a One hundred and thirty years ago the Methodist Mission acquired land in a number of areas in the New Guinea Islands region for the purpose of carrying out its mission. Now the land no longer belongs to the Methodist Mission (although many of the titles are still held by the Methodist Overseas Mission), but to a fully indigenous church, the United Church in Papua New Guinea.
520 $a Times have changed and are changing. Social and economic changes have raised issues of land ownership, use, transfer, and compensation. The church is now facing difficulties in land use, often in contexts of mutual misunderstanding. The land purchased from or given by the people to the missionaries a hundred years ago is now under dispute by the descendents of those who sold or gave the land. The church faces the danger of its redemptive presence in the societies and communities in the islands being hampered by its involvement in land conflicts.
520 $a The impact of the global capitalist economy is exerting pressure on Melanesians to utilize the land for economic purposes, resulting in increased cash crop activities in the islands. Population growth also puts pressure on the limited land available in many parts of the islands. The existence of two different land ideologies, the Western ideology and the traditional Melanesian ideology, is a cause of conflict. These only serve to intensify the disputes and conflicts between the church and the people. These and the methods and purposes of land acquisition by the missionaries have raised the issues and questions that are being investigated in this study.
520 $a A model of constructing a theology of land for the New Guinea Islands was developed and applied to this problem. The model is exegetical, using biblical and cultural themes on land to construct the theology. The model embraces a high view of Scripture and a high view of culture. It shows that God is the ultimate landowner and the land is his gift to the Melanesians through the ancestors and the clan systems. Because the land is God's gift to Melanesians his redemptive presence in Christ through the church can enable the people to live, share, find peace, security and rest, and prosper on the land.
