Prayer for freedom unites sparring groups

   NASHVILLE, Tenn. (UMNS) â The United Methodist Board of Church and 
Society
   and The Confessing Movement agree on one point: United Methodists 
need to
   pray for persecuted Christians. In a joint letter, the frequent 
adversaries
   urge âthe Church to prayerfully and publicly stand with the 
members of the
   Body of Christ who are suffering right now.â
