Several United Methodist agencies (Church and Society, Religion and Race and United Methodist Committee on Relief) are participating in an ecumenical and interfaith worship service and march calling for the humane treatment of immigrants.
Faithful Resistance: A Public Witness for Immigrant Justice is happening in Washington D.C. on Wednesday, February 25.
United Methodists are encouraged to attend in person, follow the event on social media (livestream details to follow), or hold simultaneous events in their own local communities on the same day.
The day will begin with worship, followed by a prayerful march to the U.S. Capitol. Members of Congress will join in lifting a faithful call for immigrant justice. The afternoon will include congressional visits for those who wish to participate.
This is an opportunity to show solidarity for immigrants and call upon Christians everywhere to live out Christ’s call on all of us to “welcome the stranger."
