I mentioned that Fijians, as a whole, are devoutly religious people. Before being colonized by the British over 150 years ago, they worshiped gods called the kalou vu or ancestral spirits. Even though their subject of worship had changed, the Fijians remained very spiritual in their worship.
Spiritual faith is viewed as a means of personal and social control.
Many Fijians believe that they will revert to sinful lifestyles if they do not have the overshadowing parent of religion to govern them. The most dominant Christian religion in Fiji is Methodism, but Catholicism is also fairly strongly represented. All of the four non-Methodist households converted to their specific sects of Christianity from Methodism. The only church in Nakorokula is Methodist. AOG and SDA followers must travel to Rakiraki to worship.
