Antihunger momentum
Christian Century, July 10, 2007
ANTIHUNGER MOMENTUM: Religious leaders gathered at Washington National Cathedral last month for a colorful convocation dedicated to reducing hunger and poverty throughout the world. Nearly 1,000 worshippers from 45 states sand and prayed June 11 under the cathedral's soaring arches as (l to r) Episcopal bishop John Chance, Bread for the World president David Beckman, Catholic bishop John Ricard and Marie Bledsoe-Fraisure of Bread for the World took part.
Nearly 700 Bread for the World organizers fanned out across Capitol Hill to urge lawmakers not to slight the poor in the pending farm bill and other legislation. On June 11, U2's Bono and former Senate leaders Tom Daschle, a Democrat, and Bill Frist, a Republican, kicked off "One Vote '08," an effort to make global poverty a 2008 presidential campaign issue.
