In response to Newtown, A Call for Spiritual Activism
Rev. Charles Howard, chaplain at the University of Pennsylvania, offers a reflection on the recent tragedy in Connecticut. In his own search for how to respond, he comes to the intersection of inner transformation and social activism: “I am fasting for the next 27 days.

Fasting has been a part of my spiritual life for some time, but it was always impressed upon me to never tell others when I was fasting, as it is meant to be a private thing — just between you and God. Not a show. Not a feat to bring attention to oneself.
