Methodist Church of Fiji President, Reverend Ili Vunisuwai

The Methodist Church of Fiji led by their President, Reverend Ili Vunisuwai has apologised to the descendants of the girmityas for the hurt of the past in a powerful reconciliation service at the Vodafone Arena.

While delivering his message, Reverend Vunisuwai says they openly and genuinely confess their misdemeanor and seek forgiveness.

He says they cannot deny the fact that the difficulties and hardships the Indo-Fijian communities experienced was so immense, that most of the people found it difficult to relay their experiences until today.

Reverend Vunisuwai says they firmly believe, the Lord and Creator has seen and heard the Indo-Fijian communities cries, sorrows and agony.

He adds the only way forward for them, for a better and prosperous Fiji is to confess their short-comings and wrongdoings, repent from committing sin and live in peace and harmony.
