"Methodist affairs in Fiji were administered by the Wesleyan Methodist Missionary Society in London until the formation of the Australasian Connexion of the Methodist Church in 1855 when Fiji became a District of the New South Wales Conference of the Australasian Methodist Church. The Fiji District was administered by the Methodist Missionary Society of Australasia situated in Sydney and by the District Chairman whose office was in Bau until 1903 and in Suva after that date. In 1964 the Methodist Church of Fiji achieved independence from its parent body in Australia."--OCLC record.
