Friends are bearing witness to their concern by fasting in different ways

Quaker Meetings throughout Britain are being encouraged to take part in the national day of fasting on April 4 and to support the End Hunger Fast campaign by holding events and lobbying their local MPs.  Chris Skidmore, clerk of Yearly Meeting for Quakers in Britain, is one of a number of Friends who have taken a lead and chosen to fast.
