Futile Ecumenical Fasting

Futile Ecumenical Fasting - CWN: “Muslim groups in the U.S. have joined with left-wing Protestants and Catholics in planning an “interfaith fast” on Columbus Day, October 8, 2007. The fasters include officials from the Islamic Society of North America, the National Council of Churches, the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), the Catholic Maryknollers, Jim Wallis’ Sojourners, the United Methodist Board of Church and Society, and the Quaker Fellowship of Reconciliation. The event is called “From Conquest to Community, From Violence to Reverence: An Interfaith Fast to End the War in Iraq.” It will conveniently synchronize with Islam’s “Night of Power” during Ramadan.”
