The Solomon Islands top Anglican Church leader has retired after serving a six-year term.
The Right Reverend Archbishop, David Vunagi, who has headed the Anglican Church of Melanesia since 2009, held his farewell service yesterday in Honiara.
The service was attended by bishops from Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific, politicians and state officials, and thousands of Anglicans from Honiara and nearby villages of Guadalcanal.
Archbishop Vunagi looked after Anglicans of the Province of Melanesia, which includes Vanuatu, New Caledonia and Solomon Islands.
He was a principal of the Anglican Church's School at Selwyn College on North West Guadalcanal and the bishop of Temotu before he was made Archbishop.
