We have to question the decision made by chiefs and village elders if they stop you from worshiping in your house.
This is the message given by New Methodist Head Pastor Atu Vulaono to his congregation in Suva today.
Vulaono urged his pastors if a directive is given by the spokesperson of the chiefs for them not to worship in their house they should accompany him to the chiefly house and ask why they have been stopped.
He said all New Methodist pastors should have a copy of the constitution with them to empower them that they have the right to worship in their houses in the village.
Pastor Vulaono also urged his members to question those who question them and their faith regarding the Sukuna Park preaching’s.
He said no one complains when everyone else has concerts at the park and play worldly music.
Suva City Council Media Liaison Officer Jillian Hicks said they did receive an official complaint two weeks ago about the New Methodists and noise levels, and as a result sent officers to stress to them the importance of obeying the policy of the use of Sukuna Park, adding this is standard policy and is done to all other clients as well.
Hicks said the policy states that sound levels should be bearable and not disturb those around them adding the council are currently monitoring the noise levels.
You have the right to worship anywhere
