Part of the chiefly paraphernalia in Ambae and other islands in Vanuatu is the carved wooden club. Because the catechist does not have high rank in the church, his carved stick is less elaborate than the chief's club.

Nevertheless, he wanted to send his stick to the Archbishop as a sign of their mutual task of caring for God's people.
