Dissertation note: Thesis (Doctor of Ministry)--School of Theology at Claremont, 1979. Summary: "The project examines as its central problem, the failure of the Free Wesleyan Church of Tonga to be adequately sensitive to the relational needs and material needs of marriages and family life of its congregations in Tongan villages. The problem is primarily derived from the theology that was introduced by the missionaries during the nineteenth century. This theology is "Salvation of the soul" centered, and has very little to do with the value of human existence here and now. The church's present theological outlook has prevented it from discovering the humanness of the Gospel message and its relevance to human existence here on plant earth"--Abstract.
