Christ is our peace. . .With his body, he broke down the barrier of hatred that divided us. Ephesians 2:14 CEB
Dear United Methodists:
Polarization and hatred are dividing nations,
communities, and even families. We are losing our ability to speak with
humility and treat others kindly. We know this is not how God intends us to
live. All are beloved children of God, who beckons us to care for not only
those we love, but those God loves, even those we may not know or whose lives
are different from our own.
Climate change, global migration, growing economic disparity, and other factors
are causing us to feel more vulnerable and alienated. This can increase the
appeal of authoritarian leaders who rely on rhetoric and policies that divide,
creating a fearful environment that dampens participation in civic life and
gives rise to political violence.
