Dear Friends in Christ in the Michigan Conference:

Unwinding following an eventful week at the North Central Jurisdictional Conference, I heard the shocking news of the shooting at a campaign rally for former President Donald Trump. The shooter and one rallygoer are dead, others are injured, and former President Trump was struck in the ear by a bullet.

Such violence has no place in our politics or our society. In the name and spirit of Jesus, I encourage us to continue to find ways to decrease violence and foster peace. I invite us to pray for President Trump, his family, and all affected by this horrific act of violence.

Grace and Peace,



David Alan Bard
Michigan Area Bishop
