自反修訂《逃犯條例》風波開始,由馬拉松式高唱詩歌,到為港祈禱,都可見不少宗教人士投身整場社運。7月1日立法會衝擊事件後,「好鄰舍北區教會」陳凱興傳道由7月3日早上10時開始,在金鐘發起無限期絕食,直至「身體支持唔住」。
陳覺得作為教牧、相信耶穌的人要站出來發聲,透過道德感召,希望能有更多人關注事件,「給政府一個壓力,回應民間四個訴求,而呢四個訴求亦非常合乎公義。」因此嘗試透過此方法喚起關注。
現時有三人參與絕食,包括前立法會局議員馮志活牧師。
Since the beginning of the amendment of the “Fugitive Offenders Ordinance”, from marathon hymn singing to praying for Hong Kong, many religious people have joined the social movement. After the incident of the Legislative Council on July 1, the “Good Neighbourhood North District Church” preacher Roy Chan intiated a hunger strike at Admiralty indefinitely from 10 am on July 3.
Chan feels that as a preacher who believe in Jesus, he should stand up and speak out. “Through moral appeal, I hope that more people will pay attention to the incident, to put pressure on the government to respond to the four demands of the people. The four demands are very just.” Therefore, try to arouse attention through this action.
At present, three people joined in the hunger strike, including former Legislative Council Member, The Reverend Fung Chi-wood.
