I have been looking for this type of church for a very long time.
I currently do not have a home church, and am not likely to have one here! Things are the way they are here in the South. I don't like it, I've tried to help people to understand, but they won't listen. Around here, Christians believe that God put animals here for us to do with as we please!
I can't fellowship with people like that. I'm awfully close to losing my religion. Would God be displeased if I did not go to a local church, but made you all my church family?

Dear Teresa:
Thank you for writing and telling us about your feelings. Almost every day,
we hear from people with similar stories to yours. And, most of the people we
minister to don't go to any formal church for the similar reasons. Any church
that causes anyone to lose their faith or feel distressed is not being a true
Christian church, and you should find other ways of being nurtured and maturing
in the Light of the Lord. And, most importantly, you are welcome to be a part of
our ministry.
Over the past year, we have been working with individuals and groups to set
up grass roots ministries all over the world, as well as trying to find some
vegan/animal friendly churches where we can refer people. Have you looked at
those lists? Would you be interested in being a part of one of these grass roots
ministries?
We also have a veg-Christian email discussion list where you can meet
like-minded people. If you are interested in joining, please let us know.
We look forward to hearing back from you.
In the Love of the Lord,
Frank and Mary
