This report published in today's FijiVillage (and FijiLive) is ANOTHER lesson to Voreqe and his ILLEGAL leaders that those of us who TREASURE PEACE and RESPECT OTHERS go about changes in our organisations etc in civil ways that promote PEACE and PROSPERITY for all. The ways are embedded in our Constitutions or various rules of engagement! Thus, unlike him and his cohorts who STOLE POWER BY THE BARRELS OF THEIR GUNS, we don't just make changes at whim because we don't like what's going on. We follow democratic chains of command to make changes.
CA GONE NA VIAVIA KILA MACAWA!!!
The decision by the Methodist NOT TO BE BULLIED INTO SUBMISSION by Voreqe should be a clear message to Voreqe, that his bullying ways in trying to obtain, attain and maintain power is NOT THE CIVIL / RELIGIOUS SOCIETIES way of bringing about change. We have mechanisms in place that promotes peaceful transition from one to another, whether it is change in leadership or structure, so, there is minimal upheaval in the transformation, thus, maximising the best possible change that is effective and efficient.
And shame on Methodist ministers like the Rev. Epeli Nawadra for wanting to bow down to the bullying tactics of a dictator!
(Quote) Acting general secretary Reverend Epeli Nawadra said the Government wanted to work with the church in taking Fiji forward and because of that ‘they wanted people who they could work with’.
“It was suggested that we change the leadership of the church and we have asked the President and the General Secretary to step aside.
“The two ministers were also present at the meeting and they have asked that they be given some time,” Rev Nawadra told FijiLive. (Unquote)

Tugawe remains Methodist Church President Publish date/time: 25/03/2010 [17:06]
The Methodist Church of Fiji will still have Ame Tugawe as President and Tuikilakila Waqairatu as the church General Secretary.
In a meeting yesterday attended by 132 church ministers and Stewarts, some of the church ministers proposed that the current church leaders step down and new appointments be made.
Acting General Secretary, Reverand Tevita Nawadra said it will not be possible to make changes to the current leadership because under the church constitution the only place where they can ask for changes is during the Annual Conference.
Yesterday the church ministers met with Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama and senior military officers where he had made it clear that the Annual Conference and circuit meetings will be held in 2014.
Bainimarama added that any issues regarding the church will have to be discussed during yesterday's meeting.
WE SAY IT'S TIME THE METHODIST LEADERSHIP FOLLOW THEIR RELIGIOUS LEADERS BEFORE THEM, AND TAKE CHARGE IN TELLING VOREQE THAT HIS WAY WILL DEFINITELY NOT BE THEIR WAY!
