40 Days Without Food: A Fast for Good Americans
"It seems to me that our three basic needs, for food and security and love, are so mixed and mingled and entwined that we cannot straightly think of one without the others. So it happens that when I write of hunger, I am really writing about love and the hunger for it, and warmth and the love of it and the hunger for it; and then the warmth and richness and fine reality of hunger satisfied; and it is all one."
M. F. K. Fisher, The Art of Eating
THE GOLDEN FAST - The Call To Fight For California
"We have taught America's children to feast and play. It's now time to teach them to fast and pray. Prophets are forged in deserts of fasting not the desserts of feasting.
40 Day Fast for General Conference
In keeping with the "Into the Neighborhood" theme of The Free Methodist Church General Conference, the 40 Day Fast has dual components — personal devotion and social action. The scriptural basis for the fast is found in Isaiah 58:
"This is the kind of fast day I'm after: to break the chains of injustice, get rid of exploitation in the workplace, free the oppressed, cancel debts. What I'm interested in seeing you do is: sharing your food with the hungry, inviting the homeless poor into your homes, putting clothes on the shivering ill-clad, being available to your own families. Do this and the lights will turn on, and your lives will turn around at once. Your righteousness will pave your way. The God of glory will secure your passage. Then when you pray, God will answer. You'll call out for help and I'll say, 'Here I am.'"
Isaiah 58:6-9, The Message
