Methodist Church Conference, Evangelism Secretary Reverend Iliesa Koroi

The lack of family time and the church's failure to act has led to the increase in social issues such as drugs, teenage pregnancies, HIV, and street dwellers, in the country.

While speaking to the media during the Methodist Church Conference, Evangelism Secretary Reverend Iliesa Koroi says the church's negligence has resulted in its failure to confront these crises.

Reverend Koroi says more action is needed to combat these social issues.

He also highlighted that the government and the Vanua have exhausted their efforts in tackling these crises due to the church's negligence.

Reverend Koroi says people do not change because there is a lack of effectiveness among pastors.

He also called for urgent reforms regarding national crises.

Rev Koroi will serve another term as Evangelism Deputy Secretary.

Meanwhile, Reverend Koroi rejected the calls to bring back the death penalty by the Minister for Women, Children and Social Protection Lynda Tabuya, saying that it would take us back to the dark ages.

The Methodist Church Annual Conference is currently underway at the Vodafone Arena.
