The author of this article traveled twice in The Highlands in Papua New Guinea, both individually as well as a tour leader of a tourist group. The region of Highlands has many tourist attractions unique in Oceania. There is a possibility to climb the highest peak in the country Mt. Wilhelm (4,509 m above sea level) and participate in the colorful folk shows called sing sings. A special attention is focused on distinctive clothing, ornaments and face make-up of some tribal people like Megiar, Kama, Huli and the so-called Mud Men. Despite the possibility to meet some relics of a primitive tribal culture, the number of foreign tourists is very limited. This article presents various reasons for such a situation. It seems that a small interest amongst tourists concerning The Highlands in some measure is due to the land isolation of that area. Unfortunately, such isolation significantly increases the cost of any tourist expedition. Moreover, an air journey to Papua New Guinea as well as the cost of accommodation are pretty far from low cost.

Artykuł przedstawia problematykę dotyczącą pozycji ustrojowej parlamentu w jednym z największych państw subregionu Południowego Pacyfiku – Papui–Nowej Gwinei. Kształtując swój system prawno-ustrojowy, państwo to obficie czerpało z praktyki brytyjskiej. Ów proces zapoczątkowany w pierwszej dekadzie XX wieku na skutek rządów australijskich, trwał do momentu osiągnięcia przez to państwo niepodległości w 1975 roku. W jego konsekwencji przyjęto wszystkie podstawowe cechy demokracji westminsterskiej wraz z unitarną formą rządów oraz unikameralnym parlamentem. Przeprowadzona analiza pozwoliła wskazać, że charakter papuaskiej demokracji ewoluował na przestrzeni lat, w związku z czym część elementów modelu westminsterskiego stała się nieadekwatna i mało skuteczna. Przemiany te dotyczyły głównie nadrzędnych struktur państwowych, w tym parlamentu. Obecnie jest to organ w coraz większym stopniu kontrolowany przez egzekutywę, który zatracił swój pierwotnie przedstawicielski charakter. W opracowaniu zastosowano metodę analizy źródeł prawa i analizy krytycznej oraz metodę opisową. Tekst podzielony został na trzy zasadnicze części oraz wstęp i zakończenie.

The article presents the issues of the political position of the parliament in one of the largest states of the South Pacific subregion – Papua New Guinea. Shaping its legal and political system, the state profoundly derived from the British practice. This process was initiated in the first decade of the 20th century as a result of Australian rule, which had lasted by that time the state gained its independence in 1975. As a consequence, all the basic features of Westminster democracy were adopted, with the unitary form of government and the unicameral parliament. The analysis allowed to indicate that the character of Papuan democracy has evolved over the years, and therefore some elements of the Westminster model have become inadequate and not very effective. These changes concerned mainly superior state structures, including the parliament. It is a body increasingly controlled by the executive nowadays, that lost its original representative character. In this article, the author has adopted the following research methods: an analysis of legal sources and a critical analysis as well as a descriptive method. The text was divided into three main parts and the introduction and the conclusion.

The author describes several social and peace-making initiatives which were undertaken in the last decades by the Catholic organizations active within the diocese of Mendi in Papua New Guinea. The country gained independence in 1975, but remained culturally diversified. The basic identity for most of the citizens is still related to the tribal level. Political conflicts, corruption, abuse of alcohol and narcotics resulted in the past decades in several outbursts of violence among tribes of the Southern Highlands Province. Since the central government was unable to answer this challenge, the Catholic organizations of the Mendi diocese became very much involved in the peace-making process and other social initiatives. Activities of two Catholic organizations are described in more detail, namely the Diocesan Development Secretariat and the Justice and Peace Group, which have succeeded in mediations among several tribes.

Artykuł przedstawia wybrane aspekty religijności małżonków w Papui-Nowej Gwinei w świetle przeprowadzonych badań własnych. Najpierw omawia pojęcie religijności w aspekcie psychologicznym. Następnie przedstawia narzędzie badawcze, opisuje próbę badawczą złożoną z małżonków oraz ukazuje organizację i przebieg badań pośród Papuasów w diecezji Goroka (Papua Nowa Gwinea). W dalszej kolejności prezentuje wyniki badań nad religijnością papuaskich małżonków, w poszczególnych jej obszarach jak zainteresowania, przekonania, modlitwa, doświadczenie oraz kult. Uzyskane wyniki świadczą o często występującym wysokim nasileniu religijności respondentów oraz częstych praktykach religijnych, ale jednocześnie wskazują na wyzwania duszpasterskie. Badania mogą przyczynić się do opracowania modeli i programów działania duszpasterskiego wobec chrześcijańskich małżonków w Kościołach lokalnych w Papui Nowej Gwinei.

W artykule analizie poddano listy duszpasterskie biskupów nowogwinejskich na temat małżeństwa i rodziny. Omówienie tych dokumentów pozwala na wyodrębnienie rozwiązań pastoralnych proponowanych przez biskupów w konkretnym kontekście duszpasterskim. Ewangelia jest głoszona w PNG od ponad 100 lat, ale zwyczaje i praktyki kulturowe z przeszłości są ciągle żywe. Autor omówił najpierw wyzwania małżeńsko-rodzinne w dzisiejszym Kościele w PNG, a następnie przedstawił naukę Kościoła na temat czterech obszarów pastoralnych wyzwań: kontroli urodzin, poligamii, przemocy seksualnej, przemocy domowej. Są to wyzwania, wobec których należy podjąć zdecydowane działania, wynikające z przesłania Ewangelii oraz nauczania Kościoła. Zaprezentowana analiza działań duszpasterskich Kościoła w PNG wskazuje na wzrost wiary w tym regionie świata oraz konieczność dalszej działalności misyjnej w Melanezji.

The article analyzes pastoral letters of the New Guinean bishops on the subject of marriage and family. Discussion on these documents allows to distinguish pastoral solutions proposed by the bishops in a specific pastoral context. The Gospel has been preached in PNG for over 100 years, but cultural customs and practices from the past are still alive. The author first discussed the marital-family challenges in today’s Church in PNG and then presented the Church’s teaching with regard to four areas of pastoral challenges: birth control, polygamy, sexual and domestic violence. These challenges call for decisive action arising from the Gospel message and the Church’s teaching. The presented analysis of pastoral activities of the Church in PNG indicates an increase in faith in this region of the world as well as the need for further missionary activity in Melanesia.
