In our churches, ministers often speak about the tragedy of loving
things and using people, when we must instead love people and use things.
After the services, people eat meals in which animals have become things to
be used, not loved. This action, ritually repeated, propels us into using
people just as we use animals—as things.

Will Tuttle, The
World Peace Diet
A “Vegan Friendly Church” is inclusive and respectful of vegan members;
includes prayers for animals as well as people; encourages the hosting of
films, speakers, and book studies about doing no harm to animals and
improving members’ health by learning about plant-based eating; and hosts
events that include plant-based meals for members who are vegan.
A vegan friendly church also uses care in sermons and other
communications to not speak disrespectfully about animals or joke about them
in insensitive ways. For example, when a minister talks about the "great
taste of bacon," such words are hurtful to those in the congregation who
have seen the violence and horror that pigs endure for that product. Words
are powerful, so a vegan friendly church speaks respectfully of all beings.
A “Vegan Church” follows vegan guidelines in all activities and welcomes
non-vegan members.
A “Vegan Pastor” is vegan and may or may not promote vegan values from
the pulpit.
