As news continues to unfold about the reopening of a criminal investigation into allegations of sexual assault involving former Cornell University students, many in our Upper New York community are carrying grief, concern, confusion, and a deep longing for justice.

We hold in prayer all survivors of sexual violence, especially those whose wounds may be reopened by renewed public attention. We pray particularly for the person who has come forward—that she may be surrounded by compassion, support, and care, and know that her life and dignity matter deeply.

We also pray for all who are entrusted with seeking the truth. May investigators, prosecutors, attorneys, university leaders, and others involved be guided by wisdom, integrity, fairness, and a commitment to justice.

As United Methodists, we affirm that every person is created in the image of God and has sacred worth. Our faith calls us to reject all forms of exploitation and abuse and to help build communities where every person is safe, respected, and valued.

The prophet Micah reminds us of what God requires: “to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God” (Micah 6:8). In this moment, we pray for truth, accountability, healing, and justice.

Support is available to victims via the New York State Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence Hotline: calling 1-800-942-6906, texting 844-997-2121, or using the live chat available 24/7 through the New York Office for the Prevention of Domestic Violence.

We pray for those who are hurting, and we recommit ourselves to nurturing communities where all people can live without fear.

In Christ,

Bishop Héctor A. Burgos-Núñez
The United Methodist Church
Serving the Susquehanna and Upper New York Episcopal Area

Twenty-five years later, the events of September 11 remain a profound part of our shared history. This Friday, we hold in our hearts the families forever changed by that day and remember all whose lives were taken. We also recognize those who stepped forward to serve, comfort, rebuild, and care for their neighbors in a time of tremendous need. May we honor their memory by continuing to build communities rooted in peace, kindness, and love for one another.

Join us in prayer for those impacted by devastating flash flooding along the border of Nepal and Tibet today. We pray especially for the families and loved ones of those who have died or remain missing, and for those who have lost their homes and livelihoods.

As first responders assist survivors and search for the missing, UMCOR stands ready to support the response efforts of United Mission Nepal and other partners in the region.

To support our responses to this and other international disasters, give here: bit.ly/umcoridr
