News has just emerged (http://news.theage.com.au/breaking-news-world/fiji-church-leaders-arrested-by-regime-20090723-dumg.html) that the Fijian dictatorship has arrested about a dozen Methodist leaders who had threatened to go ahead with the annual conference despite a Government ban.
Self-appointed president, Frank Bainimarama, claims that the conference is a political move and those within the Methodist leadership who make decisions are all politicians.
The well-established Methodist Church in Fiji is one of the few institutions capable of providing a base for opposition to the coup leadership.
We should -- must -- pray for, and, where possible, act on behalf of, the Christians of Fiji.
