But the church said it was investigating the claims at the Dilkusha Home in Nausori .
Church president Reverend Ili Vunisuwai said details of the alleged abuse are yet to verified. We have interviewed the head of the orphanage who is managing the home including the children who were alleged to have been abused, he said. Surely, if there is any evidence we will take action.
Meanwhile, the Human Rights and Anti-Discrimination Commissioner said it had received a complaint lodged by a person alleging the abuse at the home.

MAINTAINING unity should be the core desire of the Methodist church, says outgoing church president of the Methodist Church in Fiji and Rotuma the Reverend Dr Epineri Vakadewavosa.
He also reiterated that Jesus, in his last prayer prayed that his followers might be unified, bearing witness to God’s love.
Mr Vakadewavosa centred his sermon around this message during the induction service for the newly-elected leaders and president of the Methodist Church in Fiji and Rotuma, the Reverend Ili Vunisuwai.

Just last year, the Catholic Church was rocked with allegations of sexual abuse against boys at a school decades earlier.
A man had claimed he was molested by a priest at the school when he was a student there.
The head of the Catholic Church warned any priests found to have abused children would be severely dealt with.
Archbishop Peter Loy Chong said he empathised with the victims of sexual abuse with their hurt, anger, trauma and feelings . I empathise with the pain that victims and their families have experienced and continue to experience . On behalf of the church, I express our remorse for past failures and extend our sincere regret and deep sympathy to the victims of sexual abuse. The church apologises for any abuse perpetrated by clergy or religious workers.
