Methodist Church pastor demoted for affairs, another for false information

Methodist Church pastor demoted for affairs, another for false information

Two pastors from the Methodist Church of Fiji and Rotuma have been demoted from their calling due to acts they committed.

While speaking to fijivillage News, General Secretary Reverend Dr. Jolame Lasawa says one of them is from the Totoya division in Lau, while the other is from the Lautoka division, who was demoted last year.

Reverend Lasawa says the pastor from Totoya repeatedly committed multiple offences involving extra marital affairs, while the Lautoka pastor gave false information during the Methodist Church Conference last year.

He says when ordained ministers are demoted, the decision is made and agreed upon during the meeting.

The annual conference is currently underway at the Vodafone Arena.
