Global Ministries calls for a return to democracy in Myanmar

United Methodist Global Ministries has joined international partners in hopes and prayers for peace, justice and a return to democracy in Myanmar in the wake of an early February coup d’état that returned the Southeast Asian country to military rule following a decade of civilian government.
