The Fiji Council of Churches hopes to hold more consultations and discussions with leaders from other faiths and religions in 2008.

Chairman of the Council of Churches Reverand Tuikilakila Waqairatu told Village News that next year they will take a proactive role to consult other religious leaders to ensure that members of his church better understand their neighbors.

He stresses that after a tough 2007, the nation must understand that operating in isolation will not take Fiji forward.
