Minnesota Council of Churches
Speaking at the Minnesota State Capitol this morning the Minnesota Council of Churches CEO, Board President and two other board members joined dozens of other faith partners and religious leaders in speaking out against political violence while embracing bridge-building to preserve our communities.
It has been difficult today to process news reports of the devastating assassination of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, and the critical shooting of Sen. John Hoffman and his wife. Our hearts break for the Hortman and Hoffman families, their colleagues, and constituents, and for our entire state.
Our CEO, Elder Suzanne P. Kelly, shared this statement in response to the Executive Order of June 4, 2025, banning travel to the U.S. from certain countries:
"As Minnesota Council of Churches watches a continued assault on refugees, immigrants, BIPOC communities, and more, we wholeheartedly oppose the latest executive order to ban travel from 12 countries, most on them on the continents of Asia and Africa, or whose residents represent the African diaspora.
