Controversial Church Leader Wants Public De-frocking

Controversial church leader Michael Maeliau, who was expelled from the South Seas Evangelical Church last month, has requested the church to de-frock him from being a Reverend before a church congregation.

But speaking to the media in Honiara yesterday, Mr...  read more
