Passage: The United Methodist Church opposes conscription as incompatible with the teaching of Scripture. Therefore, the Church supports and extends its ministry to those persons who conscientiously oppose all war, or any particular war, and who therefore refuse to serve in the armed forces or to cooperate with systems of military conscription. However, the United Methodist Church also supports and extends its ministry to those persons who conscientiously choose to serve in the armed forces or to accept alternative service. The church also states that 'as Christians they are aware that neither the way of military action, nor the way of inaction is always righteous before God.' Question: The church states that, as Christians, they are aware that neither the way of what is righteous before God?'
the way of military action
