KENOSHA, Wis. (AP) — A Kenosha pastor is fasting for climate change.
The Rev. Jonathan Barker, pastor of Grace Lutheran Church, stopped eating on Saturday and said he will continue the protest until Congress passes a climate bill.
Democrats pushed a $3.5 trillion, 10-year bill through the House Budget Committee that strengthens social safety net and climate programs.
The measure is a “once-in-species-moment,” Barker said.
“As a Christian, I am called to be on the side of love for neighbor,” Barker said. “Love for neighbor means making sure my neighbor has a livable future, a family-sustaining green job, clean air to breathe, and clean water to drink.”
Barker said he planned not to eat until the bill passes, but indicated he would take precautions. He said he will give up the fast if he drops to 6% body fat, the Kenosha News reported.
“I’m hoping the big climate bill will pass on Monday or early this week and then I’ll be done,” he said. “If that doesn’t happen, I’m going to take this one week at a time and closely evaluate how I am feeling each week as I discern whether or not I can continue.”

If he had read the Bible he might have discerned that God created climate changes. It’s called seasons
Ecclesiastes 3
King James Version
3 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A pastor who doesn’t know God controls the climate plus worships the earth needs to get out of his job
Hope he gets skinny.
Well here’s hoping he starves to death.
“He said he will give up the fast if he drops to 6% body fat...”
You’re either all in, or you’re not!
What a goofball.
Thanks, but it was someone else who coined that phrase.
Yep. He’s ELCA, just google him. He’s Fidel Castro in a collar.
He’s ELCA. Practically ALL of it is the “very liberal wing”.
It’s the ELCA. The name may as well stand for Evil Leninst Cult of America. Or Evil Lunatic Communist Analwipes.
All he eats is kale and soy...no great loss.
Dumbass. Great weight loss program moron.
I say we start making anonymous deliveries to the rectory from Dominoes pizza.
The good Lord made this guy stupid.
Let me know
No cheating!
These times are bringing out all the weirdos ...on line and otherwise.
How long does it take to starve?
Sounds like one of those Eastern things......he’s a dingbat full of himself.
Grace Lutheran Church Kenosha WI, is ELCA, the heretical Evangelical Lutheran arm of what was once a rather sane Lutheran Church.
As a Christian, I’m called to point out liars and heretics.
