Military–church relations in Fiji
The Military of Fiji has always had a close relationship between the country's churches, particularly the Methodist Church, to which some two-thirds of indigenous Fijians belong. Relations became strained in 2005, however, over the church's support for the government's controversial Reconciliation and Unity Commission, which the Military strongly opposes. The Bill seeks to establish Commission empowered to compensate victims and pardon perpetrators of the ''coup d'état'' which deposed the elected government of Prime Minister, Mahendra Chaudhry in May 2000.
==Infantry Day, 2005==
In an Infantry Day speech at Mount Nakobalevu outside Suva on 23 June, Bainimarama told 400 infanteers that he expected political instability to continue, and that in the event of an upheaval, they should follow his orders and no one else's. He told soldiers to stay away from people who opposed the stance of the military on what he called matters of national interest, and to change churches if their minister's views conflicted with those of the military. He also asserted that if Fijian chiefs were giving wrong advice to their people, the military had a duty to correct them.
Land Force Commander Colonel Ioane Naivalurua called Bainimarama ''"corageous, strong, and ... a saviour of Fiji in this time of need."'' But Methodist Church spokesman Rev. Iliesa Naivalu strongly rebuked him for calling on soldiers to switch churches if their minister preached against the army. ''"No leader in his right frame of mind urges his people to change their churches simply because of a Bill,"'' he said on 29 June. ''"To do so is a breach of an individual's constitutional right to express their faith by joining a church of their choice."'' He accused Bainimarama of lacking wisdom and respect, the true foundation of sound leadership.
