UMNS article: United Methodists respond to invasion of Ukraine Nordic-Baltic Area Bishop Christian Alsted: “There is war in Europe. Russia has invaded Ukraine, which is a free independent democracy,” Alsted wrote. “War and violence are evil and always entail considerable human costs. The Christian message points to the path of reconciliation and never to war and violence, as a solution to conflicts.”Alsted directly addressed the denomination’s presence in the country experiencing invasion.“We stand with the United Methodists in Ukraine in prayer for protection, reconciliation and peace,” he said. “We pray for pastors, leaders and congregations in the United Methodist Church in Ukraine; may God grant that their witness of reconciliation and peace will bring strength and hope to the Ukrainian people.”Alsted also called for prayers for Eurasia Area Bishop Eduard Khegay, who oversees the denomination’s churches in both Russia and Ukraine and is based in Moscow.
