From here:
Notable leaders who agreed to fast one day during this period include the Rev. Fred Hiltz, Primate of the Anglican Church of Canada (March 6); Rev. Susan Johnson, National Bishop, Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada (February 14); Rev. Mark MacDonald, the National Indigenous Bishop, Anglican Church of Canada (March 16); Mardi Tindal, Immediate Past Moderator, The United Church of Canada (March 19); Joe Gunn, Executive Director, Citizens for Public Justice (February 1); Elizabeth May, Leader of the Green Party of Canada (March 12); and Bill McKibben, author and co-founder of 350.org (March 30). Connie Sorio, KAIROS’ Ecological Justice Partnership Coordinator, will join the fast on February 28.
We don’t know what, exactly, these paradigms of piety have chosen to give up to reduce their carbon footprint.
Even the rarefied atmosphere that is home to this illustrious company is routinely contaminated by the demon Co2, since even they breathe in oxygen only to convert it to carbon dioxide, exhaling the filthy pollutant 28800 times per day. Here’s my suggestion for their carbon fast: hold your breath for an entire day.
One can only hope.
I am on a carbon fast… NO BURNT TOAST.
“Notable leaders”. That’s a laugh. bishops and past bishops of now dying churches, a North American indian lobbyist pretending to be a bishop, a few left wing nuts, and a politician of a meaningless and irrelevant political party. But I am not really surprised. It is after all the same old and tired group singing the same old and tired song.
amen
This reminds me of the extremely devout Irish catholic, who decided to give up attending church during Lent.
They may not drive anywhere on their day, but how about turning off their furnaces and all electricity for the day. then we’ll see what sincerity really is.
I wonder if any of the above mentioned folk know what it is to “clear a room”?
Just try sticking around after a waft of flatulence hits the closest fan and then see.
Nuts, I was hoping that meant Fred XIII would hold his breath and not exhale CO2 for the duration. Then there is the issue of side effects.
Just place a DNR on his forehead. See how that works.
Do Not Resurrect ?
