<p>On June 19, Americans commemorate the date more than 150 years ago when government-sanctioned slavery ended. Today, however, true freedom is not widespread and inequity persists. As United Methodists, we take a vow to resist evil, injustice and oppression. It's time to live into our membership vows and commit to full freedom for all people. </p>
