The righteous man has regard for the life of his beast. (Proverbs 12:10)
Vegetarianism offers people everywhere important ways Christians may positively impact our world for Christ, by caring for people, animals, and the environment. We believe, therefore, that encouraging plant-based diets is an effective, evangelistic witness to the gospel. It is a contemporary response to Christ's command to "go and make disciples of all nations." (Matthew 28:19)An Animal Welfare Ministry
The CVA respectfully addresses humans' relationship with animals from a comprehensive biblical perspective. We attempt therefore to actively participate in the "reconciliation of Creation" that promises to result in the "Peaceable Kingdom" foreshadowed by Scripture.(See Gen. 1:29-30; Isa. 11:6-8; 65:17-25; 2 Cor. 5:17-21; Col. 1:16-23; and Dr. Rev. Andrew Linzey's Declaration of the Peaceable Kingdom."READ MORE ABOUT US AT CHRISTIANVEG.ORG
