hunger

During the past few weeks, we have witnessed a powerful period of fasting. The holy Muslim month of Ramadan came to a close this weekend, and it embraced the Jewish period of Yom Kippur as well as last week's Interfaith Fast to End the War in Iraq. I was privileged to host a breaking of the fast gathering in my home last Monday as part of the Interfaith Fast, and that evening, I learned from a Roman Catholic nun named Sister Clare about another justice-centered fast that has been taking place.
