From the website http://www.sept25.org:
"The Provinces of the Communion call for a day of prayer and fasting and witness on 25th September 2008 when there is a special session of the United Nations to discuss the Millennium Development Goals." (2008 Lambeth Conference Reflections Document)
In solidarity with people of faith throughout the world and in response to the Anglican Communion's call, Episcopalians for Global Reconciliation invites you to commit on Thursday, September 25 to:
+Pray. Say prayers with special intention for the extreme poor throughout the world.
+Fast. Skip at least one meal in solidarity with the nearly 1 billion people who go to bed hungry each night. (As possible depending on health ... consult your doctor if in doubt)
+Witness. Participate in an online advocacy action promoting our government's fulfilling its promises to achieve the Millennium Development Goals.

Additionally, you can blog: If you read the blogs or have a blog, Episcopalians for Global Reconciliation is asking all bloggers to post about the Millennium Development Goals and our nation's moral imperative to meet its promises to help achieve them.
Roughly one billion people in the world go to bed hungry each night. Think about it.
