Western Jurisdiction Bishops
In the face of a glorified militarized presence and false narrative perpetuated about our immigrant siblings, specifically in the Los Angeles area, the five active bishops from the Western Jurisdiction of The United Methodist Church call on us to pray fervently, take deliberate advocacy and commit to concrete acts of kindness to care for our immigrant siblings in the U.S., since we all were once strangers in a foreign land. Their response and guidance is rooted in scripture, our theological underpinnings and our United Methodist Social Principles and the Holy Spirit in our midst.
