The winds of change are blowing through the Methodist Church in Fiji. The church’s president, Reverend Dr Waqairatu been very clear, throughout the Church’s recent conference, about the changes the new leadership team hopes to effect.

In his opening address to the “Bose ko Viti”, Reverend Dr Waqairatu highlighted the 12 pillars that are to be the way forward for the drua (double-hulled canoe) of the Methodist Church in Fiji.

The changes are not just in terms of a new Connexional Plan: review of the church constitution or the introduction of remnant giving, registration and utilisation of land given to the church and new more transparent accounting measures. Also highlighted last week, as part of the renewal of the church, was the emphasis on a return to the mission of personal and social holiness that is one of the hallmarks of Methodism.
