The military stressed that the law will take its course if a member or delegate of the Methodist Church of Fiji conference engages in any unlawful activities.
Military spokesperson, Lt Colonel Neumi Leweni said the RFMF has been reliably informed that there are elements within the church that have been planning on utilizing the mass that will congregate during the church meeting to instigate instability.
He said the RFMF has met with the church executives at QEB to make it clear that the military will not tolerate any actions that may deviate from the agreed agenda.
Lt Colonel Leweni also revealed that the RFMF has been monitoring the movements of key figures in the church, meetings conducted and information being disseminated.
He also said the church Secretary has been told that the government’s intention is to cancel the meeting should the church deviate from the original agenda.
Lt Colonel Leweni said the RFMF will continue to scrutinize the activities of the Methodist Church to ensure that it focuses on its rightful role of developing the spiritual foundation of its members and not to engage in politics.
Methodist Church Assistant Secretary, Reverend Tevita Nawadra said no political issues will be discussed in the conference.
The church conference will be held at the Centennary Church in Suva from August 23rd to 25th.
