Methodist Church in Fiji to be represented at COP23 by Rev James Bhagwan

The Methodist Church in Fiji will be represented at COP 23 by Reverend James Bhagwan, who has been involved in faith and climate change work for the last decade.

Church General Secretary Reverend Dr. Epineri Vakadewavosa says Bhagwan is part of the World Council of Churches delegation and they hope he will also be able to provide spiritual and practical support to the COP23 Presidency Secretariat as well.

Vakadewavosa says the Church’s Standing committee last Friday resolved to call members and fellow Fijians to pray for COP23.

He says they also reaffirmed their support for the Prime Minister as Fiji assumes the presidency of the Conference of Parties.

Vakdewavosa says as a member of the Fiji Council of Churches, Pacific Conference of Church and the World Council of Churches, they continue to call the nations of the world to support Fiji as it amplifies the voices of Pacific vulnerable small island states and coastal cities.
