The National Council of the Churches of Christ in the USA received with alarm early yesterday the news of the declaration of martial law in the Repubic of Korea, and then received with relief several hours later word of the defiance of that order by a vote of the country’s National Assembly. Even though the immediate crisis has subsided, the country is still in turmoil, and uncertainty is likely to persist in the near future.

The National Council of the Churches of Christ in the USA (NCC) joins the Ohio Council of Churches and faith leaders from across the country in denouncing the disturbing misinformation and false rumors circulating about our Haitian immigrant neighbors in Springfield, Ohio. These falsehoods and misinformation have led to death threats, bomb scares, schools closing, and disrupted the lives of the Haitian community as well as all the residents of Springfield. It is immoral to stoke fear and division in this way to fuel selfish ambitions or vain imaginations. This community has been turned upside down based on these falsehoods and it is reprehensible.
