Eugene Cho to lead Bread for the World

Bread for the World, a prominent Christian advocacy group dedicated to ending hunger, has elected Seattle pastor and author Eugene Cho as its new president.

It’s a dramatic change for Bread, which is well known in Washington for galvanizing religious groups to protect federal policies that help the impoverished. Recent years have seen the group fight to stop proposed cuts to the Sup­plemental Nutrition Assistance Program, also known as food stamps, and push for more flexibility in allowing the government to provide aid for nations in need.
