Papua New Guinea Affirms Christian Identity in Constitution

In March 2025, Papua New Guinea’s Parliament passed a decisive vote to amend its Constitution, formally affirming the nation’s Christian identity.

The measure was approved by a large majority, reflecting broad support among national leaders.

The updated language specifically recognizes God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit as the nation’s Creator and ultimate authority.

It also acknowledges the Bible as a national symbol and underscores the ongoing role of Christianity in shaping the country’s identity.
