An emotional vote to move next year's Oregon-Idaho United Methodist Conference out of Idaho has sparked a wider conversation about safety, belonging and what it means to stand with vulnerable communities.

A Pocatello nonprofit, founded to support first responders, is now at the center of serious criminal allegations, an investigation is tracing one patient's complications after a routine surgery and its broader connection to patient safety.
