Annual Forty-Day Fast: For the Truth of Gospel Nonviolence

Tuesday, July 1–Saturday, August 9, 2008

This fast is a prayer that the Universal Church will gather in Ecumenical Council on some August 9 in the not too distant future and declare once and for all that violence is not the Christian way, that violence is not the Apostolic way, that violence is not the way of Jesus, and thereby disassociate Herself forever from the tribal gods and politics of homicide and be for all humanity the extension in time and space of Jesus Christ, the only true God who is Abba, Agape, Unconditional Love, Unending Forgiveness and Everlasting Mercy.

. . . all violence and retaliation, even culturally condoned violence, are contrary to the way of Jesus.
