Resist Harm

As United Methodists, we are called to resist evil, injustice, and oppression in whatever forms they present themselves. When oppression presents itself from within our Church, we have a God-given responsibility to respond with resistance renewed.

To this end, Reconciling Ministries Network has partnered with justice-oriented United Methodists from around the connection to coordinate and execute a Church-wide effort called Resist Harm to resist and reject the anti-LGBTQ Traditional Plan. In doing so, we join with representatives of Methodists for Social Action (MFSA), United Methodist Scholars, UMCNext, Mainstream UMC, Uniting Methodists, and more.

Resist Harm is not a coalition or a new organization. It is a movement, a collection of resources, and a call to action working to equip a growing movement of United Methodists opposing the Traditional Plan. With the punitive and dangerous Traditional Plan taking effect in only three weeks, we are asking Reconciling United Methodists to respond now with wholehearted courage.
