The Standing Committee of the Methodist Church has been given a permit to hold its meeting today minus the senior church executives who were last week charged for allegedly breaching the Public Emergency regulations.
Church Assistant General Secretary Reverend Tevita Nawadra said they had a meeting with the Prime Minister and members of the Military Council where they assured them that the standing committee will discuss the options to replace the format of the annual Methodist Church conference.
He said the meeting today will be led by former Methodist Church President Reverend Laisiasa Ratabacaca which is why they have been given the permit.
Rev. Nawadra said during their discussions with Bainimarama and the Military council, they have also assured them of their support in the government’s efforts to take the country forward.
Meanwhile, three Church Ministers and two officials who were charged earlier this week will appear in court this morning. They are charged for attending a meeting in contravention of the PER.
