The President of the Methodist Church in Fiji Reverend Dr Epineri Vakadewavosa says he is disappointed about the statement made by Reverend Wilfred Regunamada about Diwali on the official Methodist Church in Fiji facebook page on Monday.
He says the statement by Reverend Regunamada is not the stand of the church.
Reverend Vakadewavosa says we are all equal before God.
Reverend Vakadewavosa says they will meet with Reverend Regunamada because he did not follow protocol.
He says everything that goes through the media must go through an official process.
In that now-deleted statement posted on the Methodist Church in Fiji official Facebook page, Reverend Wilfred Regunamada called on leaders of Hindu religious organisations to liaise with Christian leaders and determine an appropriate time to light fireworks during Diwali on Sunday.
Reverend Regunamada also wrote about a national announcement to all Hindu and iTaukei families to refrain from lighting fireworks until 6pm Sunday after church services finish.
