CHRISTIAN ALLIES TO FAST, PRAY FOR A JUST RESOLUTION OF TACO BELL BOYCOTT!

Last week, national and regional leaders of Christian churches called upon their members to fast and pray each Friday during Lent for a just resolution of the Taco Bell Boycott. The Christian season of Lent begins with Ash Wednesday and concludes six weeks later with the celebration of Jesus’ resurrection on Easter Sunday.

“We pray that both Yum Brands and the (CIW) would find new energy to renew serious talks and work together for the just world God intends,” explained the Rev. Dr. Clifton Kirkpatrick, Stated Clerk of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.).

The boycott has drawn the support of national religious bodies including the National Council of Churches, Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), United Methodist Church, United Church of Christ, Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), American Friends Service Committee, Alliance of Baptists, Pax Christi USA and the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee.
