The introduction and acceptance of Christianity remains a significant time in the history of Samoa as it became a central agent of influence to social and cultural change both in Samoa and the member churches overseas.<\/p>\n

The 150 years of the church Fonotele was celebrated in drama, songs and dances that re-enacted the arrival of John Williams and acceptance by Malietoa Vainuupo at Sapapalii in Savaii in 1830.<\/p>\n
