A Summons to Witness, Protest, and Promise

A Summons to Witness, Protest, and Promise​

We United Methodists in The North Carolina Conference join our voices in witness, protest and promise in these times of violence against our Black brothers and sisters.

We Believe...

We believe that the Holy Spirit is indeed poured out upon all people.

We believe that in baptism, we are incorporated into God's mighty acts of salvation, and commissioned to resist evil, injustice and oppression, in whatever forms they present themselves.

We believe that God's intent for humanity is community, compassion, and holiness, and that justice has been marred by the history of enslavement and racism.

We believe that repentance is urgent for the historic and ongoing violence against Black girls and boys, men and women.

We believe that in the wounding of Black bodies we see Christ crucified.

We believe that those who have been steeped in white privilege, through repentance, can be transformed into humble servants of the living God.
​
We believe we are called to work for the day when God's will is done on earth as it is in heaven.
