Minister Fasts To Convert Daughter In Kentucky
In Lexington on November 1 a Kentucky minister, Rev. Joseph Wooldridge, has not eaten for 27 days to force his teenage daughter to convert and join a church. He began a revival six weeks ago at the Denmark charge and his daughter, a schoolteacher, has not accepted his appeals. He has publicly vowed to fast until she converts and joins the church, now barely able to walk. The daughter continues teaching her classes despite the father’s hunger strike.
