The Catholic Church together with the Methodist Church of Fiji has urged for a much more clear meaning of a secular state which has been stated in the new constitution.
This has been raised during the 15th Attorney General's Conference in Natadola yesterday.
Archbishop of Suva Father Peter Loy Chong said the Catholic Church will maintain a clear stand and priest or clergies cannot be involved in Politics.
Meanwhile, speaking on behalf of the Methodist Church Reverend James Bhagwan said matters of dealing with the church and the state is not an issue for them as the church deals with the society and they will work towards building a positive society.
Bhagwan added he is grateful for this kind of discussions and the Methodist Church looks forward to continue an open dialogue with the government in the future.
