Compassion in Religion
The Mary T. and Frank L. Hoffman Family Foundation and all-creatures.org are
dedicated to promoting and re-establishing compassion in religion. Our efforts are
based upon sound Biblical teachings, many of which have been glossed over throughout the
years. Far too many religious leaders and their congregations have lost their
discernment of God's compassionate intent toward all of creation, including people,
animals and the environment.
Listed below are Links to other organizations and individuals who are dedicated to
the same purpose:
- Christian Vegetarian Association
- The Christian Vegetarian Association is an international, ecumenical
network of Christians encouraging fellow Christians, as ambassadors for Christ (2 Cor
5:18-20), to choose plant-based diets as a way to witness to Christ's compassion, peace
and love.
Since most Christians value animals, the earth, and their own
health, and since Christ commands us to feed the hungry (Mt. 25:35, 40), we believe that
vegetarianism expresses Christian stewardship. The diet also helps move us towards the
reconciliation of all Creation--the peaceful, vegetarian world at the end of time that
Isaiah envisioned (11:6-9).
We’re therefore looking for fellow Christians to help us promote
vegetarianism in churches and at denominational gatherings. Please sign up for membership
at www.christianveg.com , or e-mail cva@christianveg.com .

Compassionate Spirit -
This is a web site for people interested in simple living, nonviolence,
vegetarianism, and spiritual issues. The chief spiritual focus is
Christianity, but other religions are touched on as well. My hope is to bring
together people who are interested in a variety of issues related to urgently
needed social and cultural reforms.
-
God's Creatures Ministry
- Our mission is to light the way to the kingdom of God by promoting
compassion for all animals. All of creation is groaning in labor pains waiting
for the revelation of the children of God - hoping to be set free from slavery
to corruption (see Romans 8:19-22). Jesus came to set the captive free. He is
holding all things together (see Col. 1:15-17) until He comes again in glory.
- Humane Religion - This organization, and
the magazine by the same name, are committed to publishing articles that will nurture and
support those who have been called to be part of the spiritual evolution that is
manifesting itself among those who understand that love and compassion must be the
hallmark of our relationship with all God's creatures.
- Interfaith
Association of Animal Chaplains - We offer support resources for
people who are bereaved over the loss of an animal they have loved.

Jewish Vegetarian Society. His articles on Judaism and Vegetarianism may be found at this
internet site.
-
Society of Ethical and
Religious Vegetarians - SERV is an
interfaith effort to gain a more humane, just, peaceful, and environmentally
sustainable world. We believe that applying spiritual values to scientific
knowledge encourages plant-based diets, with major benefits for humans,
animals, and the environment. We wish to respectfully make religious
communities aware that the realities of animal-based diets and agriculture are
inconsistent with basic religious teachings, such as those to treat animals
with compassion, preserve our health, protect the environment, conserve
natural resources, reduce hunger, and pursue peace and nonviolence.

remarkable freedom from anxiety, stress, and physical ailments. At last, higher quality of

Multi-Faith Retreat Center - The Peace Abbey is dedicated to creating
innovative models for society that empower individuals on the paths of
nonviolence, peacemaking, and cruelty-free living. We offer a variety of
programs and resources that teach, inspire and encourage one to speak out and
act on issues of peace and social justice. Faith in action is the cornerstone
of our fellowship and activist pacifism is our creed.
