Bishops call for support for Venezuela
WASHINGTON — Council of Bishops President Ruben Saenz Jr., on behalf of his episcopal colleagues, has written a pastoral letter calling for the wider United Methodist Church to respond to the recent earthquakes in Venezuela. More than 1,450 people have died as a result of the two powerful June 24 earthquakes. Saenz asks United Methodists to pray and “to embody compassion in tangible ways” through the United Methodist Committee on Relief.
