WASHINGTON (UMNS) - A revised, updated edition of a
major hunger resource has been reissued. Bread for the World Institute,
an international research organization, has issued a new edition of
"Hunger No More," a packet of educational materials designed for use by
congregations.
Both the new materials and last year's "Hunger No
More: Decisions 2002," which focused on then-pending legislation, were
sponsored by the United Methodist Committee on Relief.
The new
packet, which is concerned with issues and general solutions, was
developed by Bread for the World Institute with support from major
Protestant denominations, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and
MAZON: A Jewish Response to Hunger.
The kit includes a
six-session leader's guide for use with adult and youth discussions,
handouts for each session and a poster. Stories from Scripture and
contemporary life illuminate each theme on such topics as the impact of
hunger on children, balancing personal and social responsibility for
helping hungry people, and the causes and solutions of problems related
to wealth and poverty. A new Web site, www.hungernomore.org, provides
additional resources and updates.
The "Hunger No More" packet is
available for $5 from Bread for the World at www.bread.org or may be
downloaded without cost at that site. Orders may be also be sent to
Bread for the World, 50 F St. NW, Suite 500, Washington, DC 20001.
