   “I am very proud of this church. With uncertainties in hand, they continue
   to let their faith in Christ lead them through difficult issues.” — The Rev.
   Shalom Agtarap, pastor of Ellensburg (Wash.) United Methodist Church


Young clergy drawn to social justice

   NASHVILLE, Tenn. (UMNS) — One of the strong factors that has drawn many
   young clergy to ministry in The United Methodist Church is the church’s
   Social Principles and its history of serving those living on the margins of
   society. Young pastors have advocated for the abolition of the death
   penalty, the full inclusion of gays and lesbians and better treatment of
   immigrants. This is the ninth installment of a yearlong series that follows
   newly appointed United Methodist clergy as they begin their ministry.

UMCOR supports new clinic named for Clinton Rabb

   BRISAS DEL MAR, Colombia (UMNS) — With support from the United Methodist
   Committee on Relief, the Methodist Church of Colombia inaugurated a new
   clinic in the tiny village of Brisas del Mar, population: 800. Without this
   clinic, villagers had to travel on foot or by motorcycle to the nearest
   health post in the town of San Onofre, 14 miles away. The clinic is named
   for the late Rev. Clinton Rabb, former head of United Methodist Volunteers
   in Mission, who was a staunch supporter of it. [20]Contributions to UMCOR’s
   hospital revitalization projects can be made here.
