We're engaging churches in new ways of thinking about FARMED animals and Food Systems in connection to Christian faith.


With the holiday season upon us, CreatureKind has compiled an accessible plant-based meal guide with dishes that stay away from animal products and use ingredients that are widely accessible across the US. These recipes can be used with produce boxes and other items available through local food banks, and/or supplemented with cost-conscious ingredients at populated stores like Dollar General, Dollar Store, or grocery stores (if you have one accessible to you.) For reference, I am writing from Southeastern Virginia–local available produce will vary depending on location. 

Eating in alignment with your values should be accessible to everyone. We hope these ideas might help create a special plant-based meal on a limited budget this season, so your table can continue to include all of God’s beloved creation. If we can be of any help planning meals, please don’t hesitate to reach out. 

 

CreatureKind…

INVITES Christians to love God and all of God’s creation including animals farmed for food.
MEETS Christians where they are for conversations about the treatment of animals who are farmed for human consumption.
ENCOURAGES Christians to consider what they—as members of the body of Christ—believe about God’s creatures and how they might move toward living out those beliefs more fully.
PROVIDES information, prompts discussion, share stories, and offer recommendations for flourishing as human creatures without denying the flourishing of animal creatures.
INSPIRES vegans, vegetarians, omnivores, farmers, fishers, and friends to learn from each other about how each to be the church that follows Christ into the reconciliation of all creatures.

 

Take Action

 

“The prophet Micah rhetorically asks what is required from those who have faith in God – to do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly. I support CreatureKind because I believe all animals should be treated justly; that Christian love should extend beyond my race, gender, class, and species; and that humility requires me to learn from rather than repeat the mistakes of past.” – Christopher Carter, University of San Diego
