We are dedicated to cruelty-free living through a vegetarian - vegan lifestyle according to Judeo-Christian ethics. Unconditional love and compassion is the foundation of our peaceful means of accomplishing this goal for all of God's creatures, whether human or otherwise. (for more about our philosophy)

Current Features

The Grace of Pentecost
An all-creatures.org Bible Sermon
This past Wednesday was a holiday. The Jews call it Shavuot. It celebrates the handing down of the Law from God to Moses on Mount Sinai. Today is also a Christian holiday. It is Pentecost. It celebrates the giving of the Holy Spirit to all believers. But, why do we celebrate a religious holiday?

Quick and Easy Flat Bread Pizza with Southwestern Style Beans and Olives
An all-creatures.org vegan recipe
This is a quick and easy, as well as inexpensive, recipe that can be made in the microwave oven at home or work in few minutes from pre-prepared beans and fresh or frozen flat bread. For this recipe we used Whole Wheat, Corn, and Oat Flat Bread, but you can use any other flat bread. Add the bean topping and place in the microwave oven on high until hot (about 2 minutes), being careful not to over cook, which can cause the edges of the flat bread to get hard. Experiment with the time on the first one, and all the others will be perfect.

Victory for Wild Florida, Endangered Manatees
Animal Rights article
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers decided to deny a permit to a destructive dredging project in the Tampa Bay area that would have needlessly harmed 4 acres of wetlands and 29 acres of important seagrass habitat.

Tell U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services to Protect Grizzly Bear Habitat
Animal Rights action alert
Grizzlies in Yellowstone could face severe isolation under the new plan which does not connect the population to other more robust groups of grizzly bears. The plan also arbitrarily excludes important grizzly habitat and does not address the loss of wildlands and food sources caused by climate change as well as human-caused conflicts.

Tell New Secretary of the Interior, Sally Jewell, to Protect Wild Horses and Burros
Animal rights alert
We're collecting signatures on an open letter that will be delivered to Sally Jewell in her first days as Interior Secretary. The goal to demonstrate that tens of thousands of Americans are fed up with the direction of the program and the toll it's taking on wild horses, burros and American taxpayers.

A Faith Embracing All Creatures
An All-creatures Book Review
A Faith Embracing All Creatures is a wonderful anthology of 14 different author's essays exploring the reasons why Christians should care about all the animals God created; plus a forward by Marc Bekoff, introduction by Andy Alexis-Baker, and an afterword by Brian McLaren. We highly recommend A Faith Embracing All Creatures for everyone, because it helps counter the hardness of heart toward animals and the people who care about them that is so prevalent in Christianity today.
