This notion provides a basis not only for intellectual understanding but a broader more holistic approach to life in general. Samoa is one of the few nations that has enshrined Christianity within it’s constitution. (Article 1 of the Constituition of Samoa. June 2017), it explicitly states that Samoa is “founded on God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit”. This work looks through the lens of the arrival of Christianity in Samoa and the integration of the Christian faith into an existing rich and diverse set of indigenous beliefs through the philosophical notion of Malamalama."
