Reverend Nawadra says the church has yet to receive anything in writing from Reverend Tukilakila on his intentions to withdraw.

However – he has confirmed to FBC News that former church president
Reverend Manasa Lasaro and Reverend Laisiasa Ratabacaca have informed the church that they will retire from active participation in church as they have reached the age of 70.

The meeting proper begins in Suva tomorrow.
