 "This movement articulates (our call) for a more just society." — the Rev.
 Sandy Gess, pastor at [18]St. Paul’s United Methodist Church in Vacaville,
                                   Calif.


United Methodists see Occupy protest ties

   NEW YORK (UMNS) -- They may have begun as a protest against corporations and
   greed, but for a growing number of United Methodists taking part in
   the [19]Occupy Wall Street movement, the protests are a statement about the
   spiritual bankruptcy of materialism as well as a call to transform the
   world.

Thanksgiving song to benefit the hungry

   BIG ISLAND, Va. (UMNS) – The Society of St. Andrew, the national gleaning

   to produce a new song, “The Song of Thanksgiving,” which also raises money
   to feed the hungry. Available on iTunes for 99 cents, each song purchase
   will provide 15 servings of fresh fruit and vegetables to those who need
   them most, the society said.
