United Methodist Bishops Support Latin America and Caribbean Bishops on Venezuela: "We join our Methodist siblings across Latin America and the Caribbean in condemning all acts of violence, military aggression, and violations of national sovereignty. As followers of Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, we reject every ideology and action that diminishes the sacred worth of human life or deepens cycles of fear, instability, and injustice."

A Pastoral Letter from Bishop Lanette Plambeck of the Minnesota Conference of The UMC following the shooting of a young woman by ICE in Minneapolis. "Across our nation, we are witnessing a troubling willingness to normalize violence as a tool of order and to resist accountability as though it were a threat rather than a safeguard. The church must say clearly: power that is unexamined, unchecked, or unaccountable stands in tension with the way of Jesus Christ."
