Friday, August 30th, 2013

The new president of the Methodist Church in Fiji Reverend Tuikilakila Waqairatu has challenged the church to focus on committing to an open dialogue with other Christian churches, living faiths, ethnic groups, the vanua, civil society and the government.

Mr Waqairatu shared his vision to the church during the induction service in Suva which was also attended by the Indian, Rabi and Rotuman divisions, the heads of the three confederacies and the leaders and representatives from the different churches.
