Amy Chambers

Amy Chambers (born 1952) is an Anglican priest in Fiji, and the Principal of St John the Baptist Theological College in Suva.

Born as Amy Fong Toy to a farming family of Chinese descent in Labasa on the northern island of Vanua Levu, she was educated at Labasa Secondary School. She taught for one year at St Mary's School in Labasa before joining the Bank of New Zealand. She left that post after her marriage, and subsequently worked for the Anglican All Saints Secondary School. From 1974 to 1998 she worked for Air Pacific, first in Labasa and then at Nadi International Airport. After a brief stint with Air Fiji, she was accepted by the Anglican Church for training at St John's Theological College in Auckland, New Zealand.

Chambers completed a Diploma in Biblical Studies at St Johns, followed by a Bachelor of Theology degree at the University of Auckland, before returning to Fiji in December 2003.

She is currently a member of the "independent monitoring group", chaired by Sela Molisa, tasked with overseeing the work of the National Council for Building a Better Fiji. [ [http://www.fijitimes.com/story.aspx?id=91956 "Vanuatu MP to monitor charter"] , "Fiji Times", June 12, 2008]
