Faithful Resistance

A Public United Methodist Witness for Immigrant Justice

On Wednesday, February 25, United Methodist agencies are teaming up to organize an act of faithful resistance and public witness for immigrant justice. The General Boards of Church and Society, Religion and Race, and United Methodist Committee on Relief are participating in an ecumenical and interfaith worship service and witness calling for the humane treatment of immigrants in Washington, D.C.

Many of us cannot travel there, but we can share in this act of faith locally. FUMC Austin is hosting a satellite event and invites all to participate in an Austin-area witness. The day will begin with worship, followed by a peaceful procession to the State Capitol for prayer. 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.”
