"In some parts of Oceania, it's the secularist mentality that wants to exclude religion from public life. While it's common to all, it's particular to Australia and New Zealand. In other parts of Oceania, it's political instability and corruption in some governments; the breakdown of traditional morays, which creates a vacuum. The old is gone and the new has not emerged. This becomes a great opportunity for the church and confers a great responsibility too."
