The building is in the heart of Capitol Hill. Two of its nearest neighbors are the Supreme Court of the United States and the U.S. Capitol. It sits between the office buildings for members of Congress.
Scripture talks about how great is the cloud of witnesses that goes before us. I often think about our foremothers and forefathers in faith who had a vision for a Christian witness on Capitol Hill. We carry their faithful legacy.
For 95 years, this building has stood as a witness to our faith that God demands justice and peace. Every day, Church and Society lives out our faith by seeking justice and pursuing peace.
Donate today to help carry their legacy into the future.
It’s really no exaggeration to say thousands of people walk past the United Methodist Building every day.
Members of Congress, their staff and lobbyists all walk by the United Methodist Building. Many of these people are focused on getting votes, raising money or making massive profits.
As Christians, our focus is different. We are here to work with God to build God’s reign on earth.
From our location on Capitol Hill, we witness to the world a better way of being. Like we did earlier this year when we put up this message on the sign in front of the building following the white supremacist terrorist attack in New Zealand.
In addition to the thousands of people who walked by it, this photo went viral on social media. It was seen by at least 2 million people.
It is truly a testament to the power of a Christian witness for justice. We have the power to change the conversation and change the world.
