Some members of the Methodist Church Standing Committee are still meeting at Epworth House to discuss a different format of the Annual Methodist Church Conference.
The meeting is taking place minus the senior church executives who were last week charged for allegedly breaching the Public Emergency Regulation.
It has been confirmed that former Methodist Church president and current head of the Methodist Church circuit in Nadi Reverend Laisiasa Ratabacaca is chairing the Standing Committee meeting.
The meeting started at about 9 o'clock this morning.
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 church conference.
The permit was granted based on these discussions.
Reverend 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.
