Faith in Action
One way we love boldly is by putting our faith in the radical love of Jesus into action by resisting evil, injustice, and oppression, and standing with those who are most harmed by unjust laws and behaviors.
Our Social Principles
Taking an active stance in society is nothing new for followers of John Wesley. He set the example for us to combine personal and social piety. Ever since predecessor churches to United Methodism flourished in the United States, we have been known as a denomination involved with people's lives, with political and social struggles, having local to international mission implications. Such involvement is an expression of the personal change we experience in our baptism and conversion.
