The Methodist Church in Fiji has clearly stated that it will not tolerate any church leader abusing their power on issues of domestic violence or physical, emotional and sexual abuse.
Church President, Rev. Dr. Tevita Banivanua said it is a serious abuse of power to use the ministry relationship to meet one’s own emotional, sexual, financial or other needs.
Banivanua said safe communities are part and parcel of spiritual salvation.
The Methodist Church in Fiji is making its stance clear after another church pastor was charged with rape last month.
