UMC BISHOPS CONDEMN VIOLENCE
Council of Bishops
The United Methodist Church
January 26, 2026
Grace and peace to you in the name of Jesus Christ.

The use of lethal force in public spaces, the detention of naturalized citizens, members of our indigenous communities, children, documented and undocumented immigrants, and the treatment of other vulnerable persons have weighed heavily on the hearts of many in our church. These actions have unsettled communities, strained trust, and intensified fear among those already living at the margins.
