There may have been people who did, but I can't ever reacall anyone in my own family or friends fasting.<BR/><BR/>I do remember once visiting what seemed like a more "liberal" congregation when we were out of town once, and the preacher was actually encouraging them to fast. I remember thinking "Huh...I wonder why we don't do that much? It's certainly biblical!"<BR/><BR/>But on the whole, in my experience, it wasn't talked about or done much.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14847605396658754483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32523001.post-65767934858008116252009-03-24T12:56:00.000-05:002009-03-24T12:56:00.000-05:00Do Campbellites fast?

This begs the question then, how do we know they fast when nobody ever knows when they are fasting?<BR/><BR/>When I fast, my family knows it because of what I eat, or rather, what I don't eat, at mealtime.<BR/><BR/>I'd like to hear from those who were raised in Campbellite homes if their family members ever fasted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32523001.post-12407134317075275482009-03-23T22:23:00.000-05:002009-03-23T22:23:00.000-05:00Thanks!
