Church Voice is as Strong as Ever – Bishop Bolocon
“Our partner churches do speak out today. We bring our issues to our partner churches in the United States like the Presbyterian Church, the United Methodist Church, United Church of Christ USA, Reform Church in America. And they all send us solidarity messages, and they also called on their own government to do something about these issues.” – UCCP Bishop Elmer Bolocon
