On June 7, 2005 the National Council of Churches News Service reported, "With fervor and conviction, religious leaders from Jewish, Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant, Muslim, Sikh and Buddhist traditions, urged more than 1,000 participants in yesterday’s first Interfaith Convocation on Hunger at the Washington National Cathedral to advocate for the end of hunger in the United States and abroad.�
'There is a new day dawning in this country. God has made it possible in our time for us to end hunger,' declared The Rev. David Beckmann, left, president of Bread for the World, which is one of the sponsors for the 'Hunger No More' event. 'This is an age old dream but it is also an urgent opportunity,' he said.�
In his keynote address, The Most Rev. Njongonkulu W.H. Ndungane, Anglican Archbishop of Cape Town, South Africa, called on people of faith to speak loudly and clearly to end hunger with the goal of food for everyone being a human right."
