"The Christian faith includes both personal and public ramifications. However, most churches in America overemphasize personal faith and underemphasize public faith. "

What if we could practice a more public faith? What if we could be a more full gospel Christianity?

What does it mean to be a people with hearts aflame and minds afire?

In Friday's opening sermon, Bishop David Bard reflected on grace, the richness of the Wesleyan tradition, and the call for Michigan United Methodists to reclaim and renew that heritage while honestly confronting the places where the church has fallen short.

Saturday's Daily News also highlights the State of the Conference, a vision for imagining a church yet-to-be, and the remarkable generosity of Michigan congregations, which led the denomination in giving to the Advance in 2025.

May we have and act out of compassion like Christ in order to bring healing to a divided world.

Practicing radical care and embracing a life led by compassion can ease polarization and restore our shared humanity.
