The death penalty raises deep moral and spiritual concerns. As people of faith, we believe every person is created in the image of God and holds inherent dignity. Capital punishment contradicts that truth and closes the door to redemption, ministry, and spiritual reconciliation. Jesus calls us to mercy, compassion, and care for the poor, the lost, and the marginalized. In that spirit, we seek justice rooted in mercy — justice that heals rather than harms and honors the worth of every person, even those who have caused great pain.
