Kemper pointed out that The United Methodist Church’s Eurasia episcopal area includes congregations and social ministries in both Russia and Ukraine. Recently, he noted, the Board of Global Ministries was unable to place a mission intern in eastern Ukraine “because of the clashes between pro-Russia separatists and the national government.” “We constantly and prayerfully watch the situation in collaboration with Bishop Eduard Khegay of Eurasia,” Kemper said. “We rejoice that it has been possible this year to hold the annual conference for Ukraine. Our missionaries in the region engage in efforts for both reconciliation and humanitarian relief.”
