A Call from Bishop Easterling
United to Love: A Rally for Love, Peace & Justice  

When you gather for worship this Sunday, please share with everyone in your church about Bishop LaTrelle Easterling’s call for United Methodists to show up, and stand up, against hatred and injustice on the National Mall Sunday, Aug. 12.

The United to Love event will start with worship at 11 a.m. and be followed by a rally, all taking place in front of the National Museum of the American Indian, between Third and Fourth streets, SW, in Washington, D.C. Conference leaders are encouraging United Methodists to step out of their sanctuaries on that Sunday to stand as a witness against the “Unite the Right” supremacist rally scheduled for that same day.

In her call to United Methodists, Bishop Easterling said, “It is my belief that the way to respond to negativity is not by silencing it; rather, the outpouring of love should be so strong as to overwhelm it. In that spirit, our numbers should completely overwhelm and drown out any messages of hate, exclusion, or division.”
