United Methodist Church Divests From Israel Bonds

August 20, 2025 Michael Arria, Mondoweiss. , , , ,
The United Methodist Church (UMC) has announced that it will divest from the bonds of governments that are maintaining illegal military occupations. Wespath, the church’s retirement-benefits agency, is now excluding investments in the bonds of Israel, Morocco and Turkey. “With our framework, we took a step back,” said Wespath executive Andy Hendren told United Methodist News. “We wanted to do a more principled, holistic look at all sovereign debt, so it not only looks at military occupations like those identified in the resolution — those three. But there are other military occupations in the world that government should be held accountable for.” “As United Methodists, our witness must align with our values,” Bishop Tracy S. Malone, Council of Bishops president, added.
