BOLIVIA

Methodist Bishop asks for unity and support for Morales in the midst of the crisis

By Claudia Florentin

LA PAZ, October 9 (ALC) Bolivia continues to be in the news and, lamentably, not for good reasons.

Because of the rumors of intentions to overthrow the government and social strife, the Methodist Church met with Morales and prayed for the unity of the Bolivian people.
